I have been working in the aging field for my entire career. Over the years, we have spent a considerable amount of time planning for the aging New Yorkers who would need our services (legal services, meals-on-wheels, home health care etc.) over the next few decades. We also discussed the huge shift we expected to see in the workforce as we foresaw millions of baby boomers retiring and not enough younger folks to replace their ranks. All of these scenarios have come to fruition as people over 65 already outnumber children under five in New York. By 2034 there will be 77.0 million (previously 78.0) people 65 years and older compared to 76.5 million (previously 76.7 million) under the age of 8 in the US.
