America is rapidly getting older — and we're completely unprepared. Why it matters: Seniors are an increasing share of the population. And with advances in longevity, seniors of the future are likely to require longer care, Axios' Caitlin Owens writes. 🔭 The big picture: Americans 65 and older will make up more than 20% of the population by 2030, up from 17% in 2022, according to census projections, Federal spending on Medicare is expected to swell. But the change will be felt economy-wide: A smaller share of the population will be working age. And more may drop out of the workforce for caregiving responsibilities. Reality check: There are already health care worker shortages, which worsened during the pandemic and are particularly acute in long-term care.

The United States is undergoing a dramatic demographic shift as the Baby Boomer generation enters their golden years. By 2030, all Baby Boomers will be over age 65, expanding the size of the older population so that 1 in every 5 Americans will be of retirement age, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. This “graying of America” is poised to have far-reaching impacts across society, not least of which is an increased demand for healthcare services and facilities. As a result, the need for healthcare real estate – including medical office buildings, hospitals, assisted living facilities, and skilled nursing homes – is projected to grow substantially in the coming years.

Americans 65 and older will make up more than 20% of the population by 2030, according to Census Bureau projections, up from 17% in 2022. By 2050, they're projected to make up 23%. The seniors of the future may also require care for longer, and aging inequalities are becoming more stark. The U.S. is also woefully underprepared for the burden that aging seniors are expected to place on the healthcare system — particularly in terms of workforce demands — and support systems, whether formal or informal. https://lnkd.in/esvRatKW #aging #population #seniors #future #care

The United States is undergoing a demographic and health transformation that will have profound implications for its healthcare system and society. The population is aging at an unprecedented rate, with the baby boomer generation, defined as those born between 1946 and 1964, reaching retirement age and living longer than ever before. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, by 2030, all baby boomers will be older than 65, leading to about one in every five residents being retirement age. This shift poses a dual challenge for the healthcare system: how to meet the increasing and complex healthcare needs of the elderly, and how to ensure that the system is prepared and equipped to provide quality and equitable care for this growing segment of the population.

There is no way to stop it. This, coupled with the fact that 33% of MD's are at 65 and older, plus a 13M nursing shortage by 2030, equals the greatest medical care gap in human history IMHO. https://lnkd.in/dBxaJMMy "A “silver tsunami” is sweeping across the nation, as seniors will eventually outnumber children for the first time in U.S. history. Recent findings from the U.S. Census Bureau indicate that by 2035, older adults will outnumber children in the U.S. This could lead to a lot of problems, with increased demands on health care services, the overall workforce and the economy."

The number of older Americans is steadily increasing. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2019, the population of people aged 65 and older numbered 54.1 million. It is projected to grow to over 80 million by 2040. With an aging population comes an increased need for long- and short-term senior care. The demand for more care will increase the burden on nursing facilities and potentially expose an already high-risk industry to even more loss.
