According to a United Nations report, the aging of the world’s population is accelerating. In 2019, there were 703 million people aged 65 years or older in the world. That’s projected to grow to 1.5 billion by 2050. In the U.S., the 2020 census showed one in six Americans, 55.8 million people, are 65 plus. That’s projected to reach 82 million by 2050, amounting to a quarter of the population, compared to 17% today. It’s a challenge given that older people are often defined by chronic conditions. On this episode, we discuss what this senior boom means for the work force, healthcare and businesses.
