Solutions for the Seniors Industry
“In the next two decades individuals aged 65 and older will come to represent one out of every five U.S. citizens and control more than half of discretionary income. Their demographic and economic influence will extend to the farthest reaches of American society – from entertainment, to travel, food, technology, and housing. By force of sheer volume, the young adults who in 1968 thought they would change the world – by 2028 actually will.”
