Answer to Question 1

The term refers to the increasing proportion of older people in the U.S. population. In the United States today, there are fewer teenagers than there are older people. As the number of people who reach old age increases, more resources are needed from the younger people to provide for their needs. In the United States, these needs include payments of Social Security and health care benefits.

Answer to Question 2

Industrialization results in a higher standard of living. The food supply is more plentiful; better public measures, especially a safer water supply, are in place; medicines are available to contain infectious diseases, so fewer people die in childhood. As a result, when a country industrializes, people live longer.
