Description
The needs and desires of America's elderly are a rising priority for the nation. Today, one person out of every eight is over the age of sixty-five, and that number is expected to rise dramatically as we enter the next century. Where will they live? What will they buy? How will they be cared for? At present, there are more questions than answers. With over 150 tables, charts, and graphs this book gathers together the statistical data that will help answer these questions.
The material for this book has been assembled from government documents, university studies, and business journals: in all, more than one thousand sources. It is comprehensive, current, and well-organized, and will be invaluable to those who will determine the future of the aged in America.
Topics covered include general demographic and social information, employment data, and income and expenditure information. In addition, the book presents statistics on health care of the elderly and their housing, as well as overall information on state and federal resources committed to the elderly.
