"After dropping for centuries, from below 7.0 births per woman in the late 1700s to 2.1 in the 1930s, the birth rate rose to 3.8 in a postwar fertility boom that produced 76 million children--nearly one-third of the United States' population--between 1946 and 1964. The force of this demographic quake has been reverberating through society's institutions ever since. Although it began as a straightforward boom in births, it now is rising into an age wave, destined to crash upon society's shores, transforming most things in its path." (PUBLIC MANAGEMENT) The author discusses his belief "that there are four key, aging-related crises toward which the boomers are currently heading" and offers his suggestions for corrective action.
