Abstract

Discusses three demographic currents in the shift from a youth‐oriented, to a middle‐aged mature society in the USA. This shift ‐ the Age Wave ‐ is based on the fact that the young population is shrinking, there is a growth in the number of those aged over 55, and “baby‐boomers” are now approaching middle age.
