By 2030, one in five Americans will be age 65 or older. This trend is potentially transformational for the economy, culture, and society in the U.S., as it is for other nations where the same trend is playing out. While other countries are responding to these changes by developing and implementing national strategic plans to help them meet the challenges and maximize opportunities to increase longevity, the U.S. has yet to develop a comprehensive national plan on aging. Importantly, aging itself is not a challenge; being unprepared for aging is.
