PAA and APC In-Person Briefing: Challenges and Opportunities of an Aging Baby Boom Generation
On July 20, the Population Association of America (PAA) and the Association of Population Center (APC), will host a Birthday Bash and in-person discussion for the final cohort of the Baby Boom generation, who turn 65 this year. The event will hold an enlightening talk over cake and ice cream addressing this significant demographic shift, and its resulting nationwide implications in policy and health debates.
The panel of distinguished experts will include Dr. Emily Agree of Johns Hopkins University, Dr. Linda Jacobsen from the Population Reference Bureau, Dr. Lisa Berkman of Harvard University, and Dr. I-Fen Lin from Bowling Green State University. They will share their research and insights on the many challenges and opportunities that this aging generation presents policymakers, particularly focusing on Social Security, Medicare, and the responsibility families and communities bear in caring for the health, safety, and well-being of their elder relatives and neighbors.
This event will offer a space to explore and address these issues, fostering an informed conversation about the future of our society as it meets the needs of our aging population.
