Seasoned Workforce

Ask the simple question; with the population aging and a shrinking workforce, what will happen to the economy over the next 20 years?

LET'S LOOK AT THE FACTS Nationwide people are living longer than any previous generations. The Baby Boomers are the largest, healthiest, best-educated generation in the history of man. There are not enough young people moving through the workforce to fill the millions of jobs that will become available as the Baby Boomers retire. Without enough workers who will fill these jobs?

People in their 50's and even 60's can expect to live another 20 to 30 years, decades longer than their ancestors. Improved health care, more active lifestyles and better diets are adding years to life expectancy.
 
WHAT IS HAPPENING? Our society has always rewarded a strong work ethic. How does one suddenly go from the scheduled activity of work to just total rest and relaxation? What happens to the mental and physical condition of people who no longer have regular activity? What happens to a person's identity when they give up their life's work? Can people continue to prosper without some kind of work? These are just a few of the issues facing our aging population. See the articles below.
