AGEING IN THE UNITED STATES AT THE END OF THE CENTURY
BENGTSON, VERN L.,MILLS, TEHERAN L.,PARROTT, TONYA M. Institute for Social Development and Policy Resear 1995 Korea Journal of Population and Development Vol.24 No.2
The belief that America is a “young” nation is widely held by many individuals in the United States. Historically, individualism, self-reliance, and an orientation towards youth have been cherished values reflecting of our national heritage and tradition dating from the 18th through the mid-20th Century. However, America is no longer a “young” nation. Rather, we are an “aging” population, as we show in our analysis of demographic transitions reviewed in this paper. The phenomenon of “cultural (or structural) lag” is discussed in two different contexts: first-the context of the aging family; and second-the context of ethnic/racial minority groups. Finally, some of the relevant public policy responses to aging are described. We look at government programs in four major categories, namely, 1) income; 2) health care; 3) social services; and 4) housing.
