This incisive work reviews the salient aspects of the demographic,
social, and economic characteristics of the aging of the population
of the United States. It deals not only with the past and current
aspects of population aging but also emphasizes the future outlook
with regard to characteristics of the elderly and relative size and
composition of the future older population. The book begins with a
retrospective review of the population aging process of the United
States throughout the twentieth century and continues with a
prospective view of aging through most of the next century. Through
the use of 67 tables, the authors go on to consider the demographic
determinants of population aging and examine the role that each of
the three demographic processes has actually played in the shaping
of the status quo, as well as the roles that they may play in the
future. Succeeding chapters are devoted to spatial aspects of aging
in the United States; various social and economic aspects of aging
and the older population in the United States; economic
characteristics of previous, current, and future generations of
older Americans with a focus on labor force, income, and
educational attainment; and health status and patterns of health
care utilization among older Americans. A final chapter brings all
the preceding material together by considering the policy
implications of prospective population aging within the United
States with reference to both the increased number and proportion
of older persons within the American population and to the aging of
the older population itself during the next century. This reference
work is a must for all professionals in demography and gerontology.
It also deserves close attention by those taking courses in social
gerontology and demography.
