The "Age Wave" is a huge problem facing American CEOs and senior managers right now. The American population over age 65 will grow from its current level of 34.6 million people to approximately 82 million people in 2050 - a 137% increase. The most rapid surge in senior population will take place between 2011 and 2030. During that 19 year interval, seniors will expand from 13% of our population to 22% of our population (Source: U.S. Census Bureau).
The surge in healthcare demand, which must be anticipated as the baby boomers age over the next several decades, will severely tax our nation's medical resources. Most pressing will be the shortage of manpower. Physicians, nurses, and clinical support personnel will all be in high demand and in short supply over the next 30 years, so competition for their services will be fierce.
