Baby Boomer Statistics
As we age, we become more concerned about certain things, such as health care and financial responsibilities. The Baby Boomer generation is now entering their senior years and has many concerns about their future. A recent research project conducted a survey of American adults turning 65. The following information was gathered and represents what Baby Boomers are looking at in their senior years ahead.
1. More than 59% of American Baby Boomers have a serious concern about the health care system that is in place. The majority of these individuals believe their generation will overload the system.
2. A large portion of Baby Boomers will work past the retirement age in fear of possible financial restraints. Baby Boomers are actually being encouraged to continue working for as long as they can.
3. 69% of working Americans feel it is their responsibility to provide for people of the generations that came before them.
4. These statistics were gathered from a study that was conducted by the Home Instead Family Care network. 1029 American adults participated in the study. The information paints a picture of what members of the Baby Boomer generation will face as they enter retirement.
