Experts Predict a Growing Population of "Elder Orphans"

AARP experts report that seniors who are receiving care today have an average pool of seven people who can help. But as the boomers themselves begin to need care, the balance will shift alarmingly. Many baby boomers are unmarried and boomers had fewer children. AARP senior policy analyst Lynn Feinberg predicts, "by 2050, the caregiver support ratio, which was 7.2 when boomers were in their peak caregiving years, is projected to drop to 2.9 when the boomers reach their eighties."
