Abstract
The purpose of this book is to review some of the more salient aspects of the demographic social and economic aspects of the aging of the population of the United States....[It begins with a retrospective review of the population aging process of the United States throughout the twentieth century and continues with a prospective view of aging through most of the next century....[It] deals with trends in numbers of older persons and the share of the total population represented by those aged 60 and over. It considers age composition from the perspective both of the older population relative to the population as a whole and of the structural change within the older population itself....[as well as] current projections of the age-race-gender structure of the U.S. population as prepared by the Bureau of the Census.... Chapters are included on the demographic determinants of population aging; population distribution and migration; family household and housing characteristics; social and economic characteristics; the health status of the older population; and policy implications.
