Boomer Policy Group

76 million babies were born in the United States between 1946 and 1964. The Baby Boomer Generation is not only the largest demographic cohort but is also healthier than previous cohorts and baby boomers have the ability to work well into their 70’s and 80’s. This means that at some point the population of people (mostly boomers) reaching the “traditional” age of retirement will outnumber those entering the workforce. This will potentially trigger both social and economic inequalities economists have only just begun to look at. The Boomer Policy Group believes that policies enabling the increased productivity of baby boomers will have a significant positive effect on society as a whole and is clearly in the public interest. We want to start a dialogue with baby boomers, their employers, and the federal government to create programs that leverage the value of the active baby boomer in the workplace. Additionally, the Boomer Policy Group's objectives is to quantify and forecast this effect in terms that can be used to justify a paradigm shift in public policy and laws governing the workforce. The Boomer Policy Group also provides social media outlets Twitter -@boomerpolicy and Boomer Policy Blog - http://bit.ly/15Pq0Rm for Boomers to share ideas and get involved. 76 million voices on message can accomplish incredible things!
