Getting Older

In the United States, the population 65 and older will more than double by 2050, rising from 39 million today to 89 million, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

While children are projected to still outnumber the older population worldwide in 2050, the under 15 population in the United States is expected to fall below the older population by that date, increasing from 62 million today to 85 million, the Census Bureau reports.
