Aging is the New Normal

Demographics are changing dramatically, in the U.S. and globally, as Baby Boomers (people born from approximately 1945-1964) retire and become “senior citizens.” As Dr. Sehrawat and Dr. Jones explain, again is not simply a story of higher numbers. “Boomers” are being transformative and breaking the social norm. They are not letting age define them, and they view “later life” as power years and a time of possibilities. The presenters emphasize that an aging society is about all ages.
