This could be a tragic mistake for institutions such as the military, universities, and even prisons. While professional futurists are quite aware of evolving demographic patterns, the general public, too often, hears about aging only in the context of the Social Security debate. Few of us are fully aware of how demographic imperatives in the next few decades will reshape the organizations and institutions that serve public needs." (FUTURIST) The author warns that "a good number of organizations originally created for young people...will need extreme makeovers to serve the public's needs in an aging society."| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due |
