The Boomers Are Turning 80. Now They Want to Change Old Age.

The first of the youth-obsessed baby boomers turn 80 this year, including President Trump, and they want to shake up old age.

Having reached octogenarian levels, a generation that shaped much of our past is shaping the future of aging for themselves and those who follow. They want better healthcare and housing, cures for dementia and a say in when to die. New professions and products will appear. Their massive spending will shift and innovators will follow.
