The Aging of Upstate New York [July 2006]

[full-text, 2 pages]
The United States is in the midst of a powerful demographic trend: the aging of its population. Advances in medical technology and lifestyle changes
have lengthened life expectancies while birth rates have declined. Moreover, the elderly share of the population will rise quickly once the 76 million strong
baby-boom generation—those born between 1946 and 1964—begins turning 65 in just a few years. The rapid aging of the population is
expected to have profound effects on all aspects of American society. This issue of Upstate New York At-a-Glance outlines the pattern of aging in the
region and suggests some implications.
