Based on fifteen years of research by a leading expert on aging, this is the first comprehensive analysis of the consequences of the aging baby-boomer population on society. Examining the choices and challenges for the future, Age Wave discusses topics such as the cyclic lifestyle, reinventing the family, elder power at the polls, and redesigning America.

Praise for Age Wave

“Provides a glimpse into the future like nothing we’re ever seen.”—USA Today

“Age Wave raises questions and consequences we never dreamed of. It will change your view of the future.”—John Naisbitt, author of Megatrends

Great book! Important - very important - issues, but dated. Read his new book _Age_Power_. Lots of good facts and lots of excellent suggestions. If you want to be in the know, read this book and write your congressional reps.

This would have been okay to read in the 80's, but for now it
is not helpful. Outdated information.

Absolutely incredible, scary, but has given me a mission.

Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 1999

I first came across "Age Wave' as a footnote in an insurance flyer. Something made me want to read it. It had to be ordered it since it was hard to find, but I am so glad that I followed my gut instinct. I have read, reread, highligted, bookmarked and folded over corners in my at least seven times through it. The reality has become such an integral portion of my life that I left my position with an insurance agency to do what I really feel is important -- to educate people and TRY to make them understand the importance of long term care insurance to protect our parents, ourselves, and our children. I have never in my life been an activist (during Viet Nam I was in a "coma"), but after having read Age Wave, I have become an activist. I agree that this can be a more devastating situation than any in our age or any preceeding. Ken Dychtwald and his wife are Renaissance people in putting all of the inevitabilities of the modern technologies that we embrace in perspective. What they are trying to tell us, without a doubt, is that we have to cover our butts or "get out of Dodge." The wonderful world that our parents and we as "Boomers" have tried to to build will not last unless we get rid of the denial that people do age and need care and it is not always available. We cannot hide money any longer to qualify for Medicaid. We cannot expect the government to pay for it. The governmet has already told us that. We cannot expect our children and grandchildren to pay 50 to 60 % of their paychecks for entitlements so that we can ignore needed protection or hide money. We need to be responsible once again in our lives and accept the fact that we will age, and will develop chronic illnesses because of advanced age and we will need care. So we must protect our world and our heirs from the devastating effects. I can't wait to read the new book.

The Age Curve

Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2009

This book is for everyone, not just for business people. We all need to understand what is happening as the generations move forward. Perhaps this book will help you understand why society, availability of jobs, and a host of other questions can be expected.
