In Brief

Over the next 50 years the United States will undergo a profound transformation, becoming a mature nation in which one citizen in five is 65 years or older. (Now, one person in eight is that old.)

Aging, Health, and Public Policy examines the dramatic change ahead and the resulting pressure on programs such as Social Security and Medicare that provide financial support, and on social institutions such as the family that provide instrumental, financial, and emotional support for the elderly.
