It is important to
keep in mind that population trends can have a great impact on society. For
example, what will happen to health services when baby boomers (those born
in 1946-1965) (currently the largest population group in the US) reach their
60s, 70s and 80s? And, how will Generation X (those born after) (currently
the smallest population group) feel about taking care of them?
“Geodemographics” is a new field that posits we can be defined by where
we live, what we eat and buy. Check out how the use of demographic data can
impact how you live, and how it may change the way Public Health
Practitioners plan community programs in the future, in Michael J. Weiss’s
“The Clustered World” (2000), Boston, MA: Little, Brown & Co. |
