ABSTRACT

Demographic changes in the United States include two major areas of concern. One major change is the graying of America. The fastest growing age segment of the U. S. population is those persons who are 85 years old and above. The other major change is in the birth rate and immigration of diverse populations. Demographers project that in less than 50 years, the Euro-American population will have dropped to just over 50 percent of Americans. The impact of these changes will be felt in the workplace and in educational halls for most of the 21^st century. Employers will need to successfully manage diversity and students will need the tools to deal with these two major demographic shifts.
