Challenges of aging in tomorrow's world: will gerontology grow, stagnate, or change?

R Morris

What impact will social, economic, and political trends have over the next decade on services, policies, and research for the elderly? The author predicts that declining confidence in Social Security, questioning of the public's responsibility for the elderly, organization proliferation, anticipated labor shortages, and a trend to reengage in, rather than retire from, mainstream society will all lead to an emphasis on the elderly's productive potential and a "common human need" policy in the aging field.
