Senator Liz Krueger's Roundtable for Boomers & Seniors:
In the past century, U.S. life expectancy at birth has climbed from 47 to 77 years, and according to some statistics the average life span today may be as high as 85 years. America's 78 million baby boomers began turning 65 last year at a rate of one every 10 seconds (3 to 4 million per year). By the middle of the next decade, the U.S. will become a society with more Americans over age 60 than under age 15.
This year's five-part Roundtable series is being devoted to discussions around "The Challenges of Longevity." Our guest speakers will be introducing such topics as: Longevity and Its Impact on Society, Health Care Challenges, Work Place Challenges, and Aging as a Community Experience, including Family Challenges and The Role of Technology.
The Roundtable meets once a month over a five-month period. The fourth session, "The Graying of the American Workforce," will take place
tomorrow, Thursday, February 21, from
8:30 am – 10:30 am at
Lenox Hill Neighborhood House, 331 East 70th Street.
