Consider this: A record 4.1 million adults in the U.S. will turn 65 this year and every single year through 2027. The average American who reaches this milestone will live another 17 to 20 years. We know that people living longer want and need to work longer. That's why AARP Foundation is a leader in developing and supporting workforce initiatives designed to help older adults with low income return to the workforce or advance to better jobs.

Ageism doesn't end with an insensitive comment at work. It can push older workers to the sidelines, stall careers, disrupt retirement plans, and deny the American economy decades of experience and insight. Join experts gathered by WorkingNation and Scripps News, including AARP's Carly Roszkowski, as they examine problems and potential solutions around ageism in the workplace. Tune in to “Breaking Barriers, Embracing Age in the Workforce,” on Friday, June 21 at 9 p.m. ET.

The trend toward co-residence between parents and adult children in America raises big questions. How can we enhance well-being for parents and their adult children living together? And what will it take to realize the ultimate possibilities multigenerational living presents? Research points to both positive and negative effects on parents’ wellbeing, and further study is needed. With America’s rapidly aging population, embracing multigenerational households could help enable even more families to provide and receive support through various transitions and turning points in life, with implications across many societal issues including work, caregiving, and education. #MultiGenerational #Family #AdultChildren AARP https://lnkd.in/eFR6bRww

“Many U.S. businesses are going to need to change the ways in which they recruit and hire new employees and retain current employees… Fortunately, a broad array of evidence-based hiring and talent development strategies are at the ready for U.S. employers. These strategies draw from a recent and comprehensive review of employer practices and their influence on economic security and mobility for U.S. workers who experience structural disadvantages and exclusion from opportunity in the labor market.” – Read more from Todd Greene in the latest expert-authored addition to AARP’s “5 Megatrends Shaping the Future of Work for the 50+” series, where he describes tools employers can use to recruit and retain older workers, especially low-wage employees. https://lnkd.in/ezyCeAUe #futureofwork #olderworkers #incomeinequality

Since the start of the Affordable Care Act, millions more people ages 50 to 64 have health insurance coverage, and the uninsured rate among this group has dropped 46 percent. The ACA – now 14 years old – has played a critical role in expanding access to affordable health coverage for millions of adults ages 50 to 64, including through its health insurance marketplaces. See the new fact sheets from the AARP Public Policy Institute. #ACA #HealthCare #HealthCoverage #OlderAdults https://lnkd.in/e4UD33cb

More than half the people turning 65 these days are predicted to need long-term services and supports (LTSS) in their lifetime, for an average of about three years. But paying for these services out of pocket can quickly exhaust the savings of the average family – and do so even more quickly in some states. Typical annual private pay costs in 2023 ranged from about $25,000 for adult day services to more than $100,000 for nursing home care. But the median household income for an age 65+ household was $54,000. Without robust public or private insurance protection for LTSS beyond Medicaid, the need for these kinds of services and supports is a major financial risk for all Americans without significant wealth. #FamilyCaregivers #LongTermCare #LTSS #States https://lnkd.in/e9365iGb
Most Americans Will Need Long-Term Services and Supports in Their Lifetimes; Many Will Face Economic Hardship as a Result
