With the impending retirement of some 76 million Baby Boomers, understanding the economic, political, and social issues related to the aging population is paramount. The doom-and-gloomers argue that the elderly will be left out to pasture, with inadequate health care and financial resources, and a crumbling social welfare system. In "Aging Nation", renowned experts in the field, James Schulz and Robert Binstock agree that there is considerable cause for concern, but with a variety of sound policies and programs in place and smart individual choices, the elderly can prosper, and a demographic tsunami is not inevitable. Drawing from the most current data, the authors provide in-depth analysis of the nation's evolving private and public policies on retirement, pensions, health care, workplace conditions, and entitlement programs, and consider such timely issues as poverty among the elderly (especially women and minorities), rejoining the workforce after retirement, social security and health care reform, and the rise of the elderly as a powerful political force. Dispelling popular myths and misconceptions that are perpetrated by politicians and citizens alike, they provide a comprehensive and balanced assessment of the issues and their impact on everyone, old and young.
