Aging Baby Boomers in a New Workforce Development System

Overview The post-World War II baby boom generation has had a profound effect on public policy and the demand for public services. The baby boomers are moving into their forties and fifties at the same time as states and localities are redesigning their employment and training programs. This paper presents information about the baby boom generation, its demographic and workforce characteristics, and how the generation may affect employment and training programs, in order to provide background for understanding how older workers in general and older disadvantaged workers in particular might be served in the new workforce development systems and one-stop career centers.
