This 5-week course will examine how the aging population in the U.S. presents both challenges and opportunities moving forward. The implications of the aging population are multifaceted and growing by the day. The focus will be on how the aging population is affecting consumer behavior, labor markets, healthcare, demographics and entitlement programs in the U.S. and what steps can be taken to ensure the U.S. economy and social networks are responsive to this changing landscape.
