  • Paying for the baby boom Generation's social security pensions: United States, United Kingdom, Germany, and Sweden
    Journal of Aging Studies, 1993
    Co-Authors: John B. Williamson, Fred C. Pampel
    Abstract:

    Abstract We compare four nations with respect to plans for dealing with the anticipated pension burden due to the retirement of the baby boom Generation. We assess the merits of the pay-as-you-go as opposed to the partially funded approach to financing. Policy alternatives drawn from the United Kingdom, Sweden, and Germany are reviewed for their relevance to the United States. We conclude that the new German indexing formula or a recently proposed Swedish indexing formula, both of which emphasize interGenerational burden sharing, may make sense for the United States.

  • health spending projections through 2017 the baby boom Generation is coming to medicare
    Health Affairs, 2008
    Co-Authors: Sean Keehan, Andrea M Sisko, Christopher Truffer, Sheila Smith, Cathy A Cowan, John Poisal, Kent M Clemens
    Abstract:

    The outlook for national health spending calls for continued steady growth. Spending growth is projected to be 6.7 percent in 2007, similar to its rate in 2006. Average annual growth over the projection period is expected to be 6.7 percent. Slower growth in private spending toward the end of the period is expected to be offset by stronger growth in public spending. The health share of gross domestic product (GDP) is expected to increase to 16.3 percent in 2007 and then rise throughout the projection period, reaching 19.5 percent of GDP by 2017.

  • florida s planned retirement communities marketing age religion ethnicity and lifestyle
    2011
    Co-Authors: Ira M. Sheskin
    Abstract:

    Much of Florida’s significant growth, both demographically and economically, can be attributed to a large elderly migration stream from the Northeast and Midwest. This chapter first discusses the development of large scale, planned retirement communities such as Century Village, Greater Sun City, and The Villages. Some retirement communities directed their marketing efforts to the general retiree market. Others targeted specific population groups, such as Jews, Catholics, Finns, gays, and various occupational groups. While most elderly Floridians do not live in these large scale communities, their marketing efforts boosted the state’s population as a whole. A major contention then is that, while Florida would have developed into a major retirement center under any circumstances, the large scale developments like Century Village acted as a significant catalyst to the expansion of the elderly population. Next, this chapter examines the significant social service, economic, and political impacts of the three million elderly Florida residents. Note that while the development of competitive retirement communities in other states and the recession of 2008–2009 have somewhat slowed this growth, the impending retirement of the baby boom Generation should result in another significant wave of retirees in the next decade.

  • the aging of the state government workforce trends and implications
    The American Review of Public Administration, 2011
    Co-Authors: Gregory B Lewis, Yoon Jik Cho
    Abstract:

    The aging of the Baby Boom Generation, combined with the success of the New Public Management in downsizing the federal government, has led to a rapidly aging federal service, a reduced flow of new blood with creativity and updated skills (Lane, Wolf, and Woodard, 2003), and a looming “tsunami” of retirements that is forcing the federal service to reconsider many of its human resource practices. The difficulty of obtaining good data has severely restricted our ability to measure the extent of the problem in the state government workforce. We examine the changing age distribution of that workforce using the 1980, 1990, and 2000 Census 5% Public Use Microdata Samples and the 2001-07 American Community Surveys, and find that state workforces are even older and have aged more than the federal civil service, suggesting that they may experience the retirement tsunami sooner. We also examine the effects of this aging on institutional memory, race/ethnicity/gender diversity, and educational qualifications.
