Over the last decade, the United States has continued to face an aging of its population, which has been widely documented. The aging population is expected to create several problems for the U.S., especially for the future productivity of its labor markets. At this juncture, it is critical to understand the key dynamics driving the aging population, as well as to identify new sources of population growth and how to meet their needs. Public policies that can address this situation will best contribute to the well-being of U.S. society in the new era. The research presented here is based on data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, American Community Survey, U.S. Census Bureau, National Bureau of Economic Research, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
