THE AGING WORKFORCE AND ITS IMPACT ON ORGANIZATIONS LESLIE BRACEY Abstract There are approximately 76 million baby boomers in the United States.

Aging of the Elderly An “elderly” person is a person who is 65 years old or older (Orimo, et al 2006). People are living until their 80’s and 90’s these days so the number of elderly people is increasing.

of everyday life. But possibly more stressful than the physical burdens of aging is the mental and emotional toll that these changes take on one’s psychological well-being (Birren & Schaie, 2001). The reality that one will eventually loose their independence and will one-day die often creates deep anxiety which manifests itself in various ways.
