Abstract:

I provide a tiled visualization of average monthly birth rates between 1938 and 1991 for the United States and England and Wales. Ideas about demographic “generations” such as Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Millennials are in widespread use in popular discussions of social change, often quite fancifully. The visualization makes apparent the sheer scale of the U.S. Baby Boom in comparison to other alleged generations.

Abstract:

The development of Communication Technology through the Internet brings a digital gap for women, especially for Baby Boom generation, women who was born in 1946-1964. This study aim to describe the digital gap in family communication. The theory used in this research is Gender Structuration Theory and Liberal Feminist Theory. This research is a descriptive qualitative research with critical phenomenology design. The results suggest that women on Baby Boom generation still marginalized from access to information over the internet due to unequal power on the use of communication technology between female and male family members. That have been happened because of the absence of digital gender awareness of the Y generation (born between 1977 - 1997) to provide internet access and facilities for women on Baby Boom generation who are their mothers. Y Generation prefer to provide internet access and facilities for his father, the Baby Boom man. The provision of means of communication (smart phone) and internet access for baby boom generation is preferred for men. This was due to patriarchal thinking in the pattern of family relationships that assume men have more rights to master communication technology than women.

Abstract:

Sudden increase in the number of live births after the Second World War due to an increase in fertility rates has led to the formation of cohorts with specific characteristics or baby boom generation. This generation is unique in the history of the demographic phenomenon that has affected and affects the functioning of many segments of society. The aim of this paper is to assess structure of baby boomers who are few years away from retirement, using demographic data. Impact of baby boomer age structure of current and future retirees is described with a graphical display of current and projected age pyramid of baby boomers. Demographic pattern that women live longer than men is evident in the projected pyramid. In addition, the number of baby boomers will lead to a "younger" old population. The imbalance in the number of men and women pensioners, as well as older cohorts of women and female baby boomers was analyzed. As a result, an increasing trend of women's age pensioners who are members of the baby boom generation was clearly observed, which is opposite to the older cohort of women who often were family pensioners. Different circumstances and conditions in which female boomers lived and worked will form a new "pension model" because they will gain their benefits as well as men, for the first time in significant number, unlike their mothers, which gained the right to retire after they become widows. Number of women age pensioners is getting greater comparing to men, as the result of changes in the economic activities of women in the last half of the 20th century. When baby boomers retire and exit the working population, this will create a vacuum, because the numerically smaller generations will enter working population, while the sudden and very shortly, the number of population older than 60 or 65 will increase, most of them will likely to acquire the right to a pension. It is undeniable that baby boomers had impact on demographic structure, but also on society as a whole. They have been extremely important factor of development of our country during their working career, they are healthier then previous generation and many of them possess the knowledge and experience gained by the years, so rigid prediction of future changes that will produce the retirement of this generation has no excuses. Retired baby boom generation will perhaps lead to new, better way of life in old age.

Abstract:

This article presents an intellectual and social history of the concept of the baby boom. Researchers first invented the notion of a population bulge in the mid-twentieth-century United States to explain birth rates that were higher than predicted by their theories of a mature population and economy. As the children born during this “baby boom” entered schools in the 1950s, they were drawn into a pre-existing conversation about an educational emergency that confirmed researchers’ suspicions that the bulge would spread crisis over time throughout all of the nation's age-graded institutions. New sociological and demographic explanations of the bulge subsequently merged with heightened talk of generational conflict during the 1960s and 1970s to define, with journalistic help in 1980, the “baby boom generation” and the “baby boomer.” Crisis talk has pursued the boomers into the present, mobilized most effectively by opponents of the welfare state.

Abstract:

Abstract Dramatic changes in family life may have altered the structure and quality of social ties to family and friends. However, little is known about whether and how social relationships vary between older adults from different cohorts. Using data from the National Social Life, Health, and Aging Project, we compared social network composition and social support between older adults at ages 57 to 67 from the Silent Generation cohort (N=2,316) and the Baby Boom cohort (N=1,500). Compared with the Silent Generation cohort, the Baby Boom cohort had significantly higher odds of not listing any kin in their core discussion network. There were no cohort differences in proportion of friends in the network. The Baby Boom cohort also reported lower levels of family and friend support than their counterparts. Results suggest that the Baby Boom cohort is more socially disconnected from friends and particularly family compared with the Silent Generation cohort.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to longitudinally analyze how the baby boomer generation's integrated preparation for old age affects the change trajectory of life satisfaction. Data were collected from the 4th to 7th years of the National Old Age Security Panel Data and analyzed with the potential growth model analysis method. The research results were as follows. First, the life satisfaction of the baby boom generation, examined through the unconditional model, showed a non-linear trajectory of change, maintaining a slightly increasing pattern over time and then slightly decreasing. Second, the effects of economic preparation for old age, emotional and social preparation for old age, and physical preparation for old age, which were examined through the conditional model, on the change trajectory of life satisfaction showed different results. The baby boomer generation's economic preparation for old age did not affect changes in life satisfaction. On the other hand, the baby boom generation who prepares for old age emotionally and socially had high life satisfaction in their early years, and the high life satisfaction showed a trajectory of change that was maintained over time. The baby boom generation, who is physically preparing for old age, showed a trajectory of change in which life satisfaction increased rapidly as time passed, although life satisfaction at the beginning was insignificant. Based on the results, a proposal was made to promote volunteer activities and lifelong education, expand social networks, and policies and services related to health promotion and disease prevention.

Abstract:

Abstract The social world is closely linked to other dimensions of health, including physical health and illness, physical functioning, cognition and emotional well-being, and these links may change across generations and may depend on social and policy context. The papers in this symposium focus on these links. Carr examines the associations between productive engagement in later life and perceptions of social support and interactions with friends and family. She finds that volunteer engagement is associated with greater perceived social support and interaction with friends and family but not with support from spouse. Waite, Duvoisin and Kotwal measure changes in social participation between the Silent Generation cohort, born between1938 and1947, and the Baby Boom cohort, born from1948-1958. They find find that the gender differences shown in the Silent Generation cohort are reduced among those born during the Baby Boom. Azar examines the moderating role of social policy, particularly defamilization, on the link between loneliness and health, using data from30 European countries and the U.S. Choi compares marital and partnership status, social support and strain in Silent Generation vs. Baby Boom cohorts. Her results suggest that those born during the Baby Boom are embedded in looser social relationships compared to their older counterparts. Together, these papers point to the importance of considering various dimensions of social life, gender, and context, including historical time and the life cycle, in understanding how the social world acts to affect well-being.

Abstract:

Latinos make up over fifty percent of the post-millennial generation in California. Their formative experience is very different from that of non-Hispanic white post-millennials, who are the highly educated children of the highly educated baby boom and generation X parents. Latino post-millennials may be characterized as being largely the US-born, highly educated, bilingual children of immigrant parents, who have lived all their lives constantly targeted by nativist, anti-Latino rhetoric. These young Latinos are flocking to college campuses, and as they enter the labor force, their productivity will drive the state’s economy.

Abstract:

Abstract Compared to most governments’ social security programmes, pension schemes are normally funded as an individual’s benefit entitlement grows with their paid income and length of service. Thus, as the baby boom generation has moved through the workforce, as more workers have become entitled to participate in pension schemes, and as benefit levels have increased in proportion to paid wages, pension funds have grown astronomically, in terms of their total funds and their significance with respect to other sources of savings and investments.

Full text

Abstract:

Whether later life is represented through the lens of an apocalyptic demography or an over-entitled baby-boom generation, such differing representations point to the continuing dissolution of old age as a unitary social category. The division between the ‘third’ and ‘fourth’ ages is becoming an important feature of ageing societies. While the latter reflects an image of old age defined by dependency and vulnerability, the former projects an image of generational capture. This bifurcation has been present over the past 30 years and has recently become evident in responses to, and discourses about, the COVID-19 pandemic. By drawing attention to these disparate representations of ageing in the media, this chapter argues that public discourses of ageing articulate a fundamental incompatibility in the framing of later life, through the representational structures of the third and fourth ages in society.

Abstract:

This chapter traces not only commonalities in the generational experience of Mary Midgley, Philippa Foot, Elizabeth Anscombe, and Iris Murdoch, but also differences in their educations, upbringings, and relationships to organized religion. They were all children of the post-Armistice baby boom, growing up in a world profoundly shaped by the Great War, a “morbid age” preoccupied with worries about the decline and fall of Western civilization. And they all belonged to the first generation to benefit from enhanced professional opportunities and legal protections for women. The chapter recounts, among other stories, Anscombe’s intense, dramatic conversion to Catholicism, which alarmed her parents; Foot’s (Bosanquet’s) rebellion against her patrician upbringing, leading to her decision to attend Oxford; Murdoch’s idyllic childhood and “Spartan” but beloved boarding school; and Midgley’s (Scrutton’s) more relaxed school experience and early fascination with all manner of small, wild creatures.

Abstract:

This chapter examines the choices that wartime and postwar planners made to avoid a recurrence of the depression crisis. They believed underconsumption was a root cause of the crisis, and that in the postwar era mass consumerism and the creation of a consumer democracy, sustained by Keynesian economics, would generate full employment and prosperity. The GI Bill was one key. Most conservatives supported the idea of consumer-driven prosperity, but opposed an expanded role for government to achieve it. Chester Bowles, head of the OPA, saw an improvement in housing stock as a way to promote prosperity and meet the needs of the post-war baby boom generation.

Abstract:

Geriatric medicine is the subspecialty of internal medicine that focuses on the care of patients over the age of 65. As life expectancy increases and the baby boom generation reaches old age, there will be a significant increase in this population. As of 2000 there were 35 million people 65 and older. This number is expected to double to over 70 million by 2030. The 85+ population is projected to increase from 4.2 million in 2000 to 7.3 million in 2020. There will never be enough geriatric specialists to care for this group of patients, so all health care providers must be aware of the key principles of geriatrics. The effects of normal aging and disease-related changes common in older adults necessitate a unique approach to caring for this group. There are several geriatric syndromes encountered regularly in elderly adults. These include polypharmacy, dementia, delirium, late-life depression, urinary incontinence, and falls.

Full text

Abstract:

The use of various innovative maintenance optimization techniques at Bruce has lead to cost effective preventive maintenance applications for complex systems as previously reported at ICONE 6 in New Orleans (1996). Further refinement of the station maintenance strategy was evaluated via the applicability of statistical analysis of historical failure data. The viability of stochastic methods in Candu maintenance was illustrated at ICONE 10 in Washington DC (2002). The next phase consists of investigating the validity of using subjective elicitation techniques to obtain component lifetime distributions. This technique provides access to the elusive failure statistics, the lack of which is often referred to in the literature as the principal impediment preventing the use of stochastic methods in large industry. At the same time the technique allows very valuable information to be captured from the fast retiring “baby boom generation”. Initial indications have been quite positive. The current reality of global competition necessitates the pursuit of all financial optimizers. The next construction phase in the power generation industry will soon begin on a worldwide basis. With the relatively high initial capital cost of new nuclear generation all possible avenues of financial optimization must be evaluated and implemented.

In Population in Post-Yugoslav Countries: (Dis)Similarities and Perspectives. Institute of Social Sciences, 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.59954/ppycdsp2024.15.

Full text

Abstract:

The average age in Slovenia and Serbia has risen over the last two decades from around 40 years in 2002 to exactly the same value for both countries in 2022 (43.8 years). While some drivers of aging population in Slovenia and Serbia are similar (low fertility and inertia of the baby boom generation), Slovenia attracts migrants and has longer life expectancy. As the coronavirus pandemic has become a serious burden worldwide, excess mortality due to Covid-19 and various diseases become prominently important factor for age structure in both countries. The paper explores the importance of age structure composition as an (unfortunate) precondition for higher mortality in 2020 and 2021 in Serbia and Slovenia and compares the demographic “price” of different mortality patterns. As a method, we use the standardization of mortality data at different points in time in order to show the difference between the experienced mortality level and the expected rates. The methodological procedure is to hold constant age and sex specific mortality rates in 2020 and 2021 and apply them to the age structure in 2002, 2005, 2010 and 2015. We chose both 2020 and 2021 because the mortality rate in Slovenia was highest in 2020 at 11.4‰ and then fell to 11‰ in 2021 and 10.6‰ in 2022. In Serbia, on the other hand, the mortality crisis was more severe, as the mortality rate in 2020-2021-2022 was 16.9‰-19.9‰-16.4‰. The results of our study indicate that the mortality rates in both Slovenia and Serbia would be significantly lower if Covid-19 had hit the younger population. In Slovenia, if the 2020 pandemic happened to the 2002 population, it would cost 7 lives per 1000 inhabitants, 7.5 in 2005, 8.7 in 2010 and 10.1 in 2015. In Serbia, if the 2021 happened to the population in 2002, the mortality rate would be 13.9 per 1000, 14.9 (2005), 16.9 (2010) and 18.5 in 2015. The differential mortality patterns also highlight that the male population was subject to higher mortality than the female population. Since Covid-19 was an unexpected challenge that left a clear but uneven mark on both Slovenian and Serbian society, the comparison of the mortality burden for Serbia can be of practical importance, as various conclusions and recommendations can be drawn from Slovenian experience.

Elderly people may live longer than previous senior generations and experience more health issues that increase pressures on healthcare facilities. As this population grows, studying the issues that affect the elderly along with relevant solutions is vital. One such issue is falls, which cause various health-deteriorating consequences and even death in millions of seniors annually worldwide. Although numerous studies have been conducted on fall risk factors, there is still a gap in the study of interventions to address these factors. Here, a systematic literature review of all possible risk factors for falls and solutions addressing them was conducted. During the review process, certain gaps in interventions addressing the risk factors of falls were found. Hence, this study aimed to shed light on such gaps and provide insights on solutions from a human-centered design perspective.
