Robert Keough moderates a panel about how the aging of Baby Boomers will affect Massachusetts, politically and economically.
Nearly one in three Massachusetts residents is a member of the Baby Boom generation, and as this massive group of individuals nears the traditional retirement age, they are redefining the norms typically associated with getting older. The oldest Boomers will turn 60 next year and, according to a recent poll of 1,000 Boomers, nearly half of this generation plans to retire at or after age 65 or not to retire at all. Some will work for the challenge, but many plan to stay on the job to make fiscal ends meet. And more than a third want to leave Massachusetts. Their decisions, and demands for change, are likely to have a dramatic effect on the state's economy and public policies.
