Answer to Question 1

The baby boom that took place between 1946 and 1964 and improved life expectancy are important contributors to the growing older adult population in the United States. Baby boomers increased the numbers of the older middle-aged (ages 4663) until 2011, when they began to swell the ranks of the retired population. The growth rate of the older population is expected to slow after 2030, when the last baby boomers turn 65 years old.
