How Baby Boomers Are Changing The Way We Live Today And They're Just Getting

It’s no secret that the baby boomer generation has had a significant impact on society. Born between the years 1946 and 1964, this group of individuals has reshaped the way we live, work, and play. As they enter their golden years, they continue to make waves, challenging societal norms and redefining expectations.

One of the key ways baby boomers are changing the way we live today is through retirement. Unlike previous generations, many baby boomers are opting not to retire at the traditional age of 65. Instead, they are working well into their 70s and even 80s. This shift in retirement patterns is having a profound effect on the workforce and the economy as a whole. Baby boomers are bringing their wealth of experience and knowledge to the table, mentoring younger employees and providing valuable insights.

Another area where baby boomers are making a significant impact is in the housing market. As they age, many are downsizing and seeking more manageable homes. This has led to a surge in demand for smaller, more accessible properties. Developers and builders are embracing this trend, creating communities and neighborhoods specifically designed for the needs of aging baby boomers. These communities often include amenities such as walking trails, fitness centers, and on-site healthcare facilities.

It is also worth noting that baby boomers are digitally savvy. Contrary to popular belief, this generation is not technologically inept. In fact, a significant number of baby boomers are actively engaged on social media platforms, using smartphones, and embracing the benefits of modern technology. This has led to a surge in online services catering specifically to the baby boomer demographic, such as online shopping, virtual doctor's appointments, and social networking groups.

Additionally, baby boomers are challenging societal stereotypes associated with aging. They are breaking down barriers and redefining what it means to grow older. This generation is staying active, pursuing new hobbies, and continuing to learn well into their retirement years. They are taking up adventurous activities such as mountain climbing, skydiving, and traveling to exotic destinations. Baby boomers are proving that age is just a number and that life can be exciting and fulfilling at any stage.

From redefining retirement to creating demand in the housing market and influencing the healthcare industry, this generation is leaving a lasting impact on society.

Generation Ageless—an authoritative and eye-opening look at the past, present, and future of Baby Boomers

Think Baby Boomers are all alike? Think again. This dynamic generation is nearing the traditional age of retirement, but is in no mood to slow down. Learn how to market, sell to, do business with, or just understand this remarkable generation, from Yankelovich, Inc., the organization that knows them better than anyone else.

Yankelovich actually coined the term "Baby Boomer" back in the late 1960s, when they first started collecting data on this influential generation. Now, more than thirty years later, they have the most complete information on Boomers ever assembled. And they have put it all together in this groundbreaking look at America's largest and most powerful generation.

In Generation Ageless, Yankelovich president J. Walker Smith, Ph.D., and senior partner Ann Clurman, Boomers themselves, dig deep into what makes this generation tick. With fresh, original data and a wide-ranging look at everything about Boomers, they dissect Boomers into six major segments—Straight Arrows, Due Diligents, Maximizers, Sideliners, Diss/Contenteds, and Re-Activists—to provide new insights into the world's most talked-about generation. The results show key imperatives invaluable to anyone selling a product, service, or idea to this 78-million strong group.

Boomers are the dominant generation in America. Their values and aspirations set the tone for everyone. Advances in medicine and health mean that this youth-obsessed generation is now focused on an everlasting prime of life. They are literally middle age–less: holding onto their position at the top of the pyramid for as long as possible, and not fading away to their golden years. Today's fifty- and sixty-year-old Boomers are not eagerly anticipating lives of disengaged retirement. Instead, middle age–less Boomers expect another twenty or thirty years of impact and influence—albeit in a variety of ways reflective of a surfeit of agendas and ambitions they have yet to fulfill.
