Abstract

Much is expected of Australian Baby Boomers as they move through middle to late life over the coming decades. However, there is enormous diversity in the resources and lifestyles of the many birth cohorts that make up this population and some subgroups have been identified as at particular risk. The present article reviews the national and international research on the expectations and behaviours of baby boomers and explores the potentiality that this population, with their diversity and longer life, may contribute to the negotiation of a new social contract and cultural maturity in an Ageing Australia.
