Older People of Tomorrow: A Psychosocial Profile.

Silverstone, Barbara

Gerontologist, v36 n1 p27-32 Feb 1996

Attempts to narrow the scope of present uncertainties about the older population by sketching a psychosocial profile of the older people of tomorrow based on what is known today. Focuses on the baby boom generation and the interplay between personal attributes they could bring to late life and the social and physical environment in which they could be living. (KW)
