In a historic demographic shift, older adults now outnumber the youngest children worldwide, marking a significant tipping point that was reached earlier than anticipated. This trend is expected to have profound implications, with projections indicating that by 2029, the U.S. will have more seniors than children. While the population continues to grow, the U.S. is expected to become younger than nearly half the world’s countries by 2060, even as the global older population is set to nearly double. The aging population is largely influenced by the baby boomer generation, which plays a significant role in these changing dynamics.
