After World War II in 1945, the United States experienced a "baby boom" as birthrates rose and remained high through the early
1960s. In 2011, the first members of the baby boom generation became older than 65. What effect will this have on the market for hospital facilities?
The effect is the need for more health services focus on an older population.
Explanation:
The aging of the baby boom generation imposes challenges related to the need of taking care of an aging population and hospitals will need more professionals better prepare to handle the specific needs of older people. Hospitals will have to concentrate on how to take care of this people and how the aging of the workforce will affect the services they offer.
