2 Stocks To Buy As America’s Population Ages
America's population is getting older.
By the year 2030, the baby boomer cohort -- those born between 1944 and 1964 -- will all be older than the retirement age of 65. By the year 2034, it's projected that there will be more people 65 years of age and older than those under the age of 18. What's more, this shift in demographics is expected to continue well into the future.
In the year 2060, the ratio of retired adults to working-age adults -- the old-age dependency ratio -- is projected to decrease to 2.5 working-age adults to one adult of retirement age. That's a drop from the 3.5 working-age adults to every adult of retirement age today.
