Welcome to the Boomers: The Next 20 Years Project.

As boomers move into their 60s and 70s over the next 20 years, they
will not only carry their revolutionary history with them. They will
extend it into a new realm. Biology, the very basis of human life, will
be up for grabs as boomers make choices about physical aging that no
previous generation has had to make.

They will weigh these choices in a world fraught with dilemmas: a
rapidly deteriorating environment, shifts in global economic power, the
decline of legacy institutions that they have both opposed and worked
within, the meteoric advance of technologies that confer advantage on
the youngest members of society, and perhaps even the loss of faith in
science as the basis for a rational society. They may face growing
opposition to entitlements by younger workers who feel burdened by the
seemingly privileged lifestyles of boomers. They will stand divided by
the great gap in wealth within their own ranks.

This project was started in late 2006 in partnership with the AARP.
It has since found a number of other supporting organizations. The map available on the right side of this page is the first product of this project, now publicly available.
