Why an Educational Seminar on Community/County Preparedness for
Population Aging?
Maturing of America Survey (2005)
FINDING: Only 46% of 10,000 U.S. communities surveyed had begun to prepare for the impacts of an aging population.

How prepared is your county for the coming “age wave” ?
![Page 5: Cliff 2011 03 march 10 cty ldrshp conf stevens pt wi](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/5562ef3fd8b42a213b8b4ef1/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
AgingWhether we like it or not (or whether we admit it or not), all of us – as individuals - experience aging.
What are some common ways to measure human aging?
![Page 6: Cliff 2011 03 march 10 cty ldrshp conf stevens pt wi](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/5562ef3fd8b42a213b8b4ef1/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Aging in human beings can be measured in a number of ways: chronological, biological, psychological, social, functional, etc.
![Page 7: Cliff 2011 03 march 10 cty ldrshp conf stevens pt wi](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/5562ef3fd8b42a213b8b4ef1/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
How is Population Aging Measured?
-Number of persons age 65+
-Percent of persons age 65+
-Median age

Illustrating Population AgingThere are several ways to graphically illustrate the aging of a population. One of the most common is the population pyramid.
Number (millions)
![Page 9: Cliff 2011 03 march 10 cty ldrshp conf stevens pt wi](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/5562ef3fd8b42a213b8b4ef1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Changing Shape of Population Pyramids
The “shape” of a population pyramid is determined by a combination of several factors. One is birth rate. What are some other factors?

…the percentage (and number) of persons age 65+ in the world will be greater than those age 5 and younger!

Median Age in 12 Countries
• By the year 2030, the median age of the entire developed world is projected to be 45.
• In Japan and much of southern and eastern Europe, it will be over 50.

From 1900 through 2003, life expectancy at birth increased from 48 to 75 years for men (a gain of 27 years) and from 51 to 80 years for women (a gain of 30 years).

Aging of the Baby Boomers…• When the baby boomers (aka “aging” boomers) start turning 65 in January 2011, approximately 10,000
people will turn 65 every day— and this trend will continue for 20 years!
• By 2030, one out of every five Americans—some 72 million people—will be 65 years or older.
• By 2050, the 65+ population is projected to be between 80 and 90 million, with those 85 and older close to 21 million.

• What are the key attributes or characteristics of aging-friendly communities; that is, when can you tell whether a community offers a supportive environment for persons of all ages, including those who are elderly?
• How can a community measure the extent to which it is aging-friendly?

Unless America makes a commitment to livable, “aging-friendly” communities, baby boomers and other persons of a range of ages and with a variety of abilities will find it difficult to age successfully and remain engaged with their communities...
On the other hand, those communities that design for livability empower their residents to remain independent and engaged, and offer a better quality of life.
A Call for Action:
![Page 57: Cliff 2011 03 march 10 cty ldrshp conf stevens pt wi](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/5562ef3fd8b42a213b8b4ef1/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
??Questions We All Need to Ask ??
• Is your community a good place to grow up and grow old?
• Will your community meet your needs when you are 65, 75, 85, 95…or even 105?
• If not, what can you do now to begin to make your community a friendly and supportive environment for persons of all ages?
![Page 58: Cliff 2011 03 march 10 cty ldrshp conf stevens pt wi](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103017/5562ef3fd8b42a213b8b4ef1/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
