The Aging Baby Boomer Generation
Changing demographics within families have prolonged the "sandwich phase," leaving many baby boomers supporting aging parents and supporting young children, according to a recent survey from the Pew Research Center. Baby Boomers Approach Age 60: From the Age of Aquarius to the Age of Responsibility (44 pages, PDF) examines multi-generational relationships within families and differing perspectives among older (ages 51-59) and younger (ages 41-50) boomers, and finds a majority are satisfied with their family life and cautiously optimistic about their finances in retirement.
