Observations
• Our language around aging is negative
• As productivity goes down, the perceived value to society goes down
• Elders seen as takers
• There is high diversity in later life—wide range of healthy, capability, mobility, disabilities, etc.
• The number of elderly are growing, and we are living longer
• Higher ratio of women to men in later stages—as women outlive men
• Intergenerational is positive
• Ratio of elders to non-elders is shrinking from 1:7 to 1:3
• Elders can’t afford to be idle – fixed income and need for continued employment
• De facto: monogenerational is good
• Loss of elder knowledge do to generation gap
