Question #1
America is one of the most diverse countries in the world. Whether being race/ethnicity or age, there is a growing number of the elderly in our population. In our demographics it shows, our populations are continuing a trend towards larger and older populations. With this in mind, our society is continually going through growing pains as our older population continues to grow. The impact of aging on society will show in a variety of ways.
Aging increasing is mainly from the continued rising longevity along with the decline in fertility levels. A rise in longevity increases the average in the country of the population by raising the count of the surviving older population. A reduction in fertility decreases the number of babies born, and as this continues, there becomes a reduction in the younger population, more commonly known as the echo boomers.
