>The [population](https://www.newsweek.com/topic/population) of the U.S. is ageing. Recent findings from the U.S. Census Bureau indicate that by 2035 older adults will outnumber children—a first in U.S. history.

What’s more, the number of Americans aged 65 and older is projected to increase from 58 million in 2022 to 82 million by 2050—an increase of 47 percent—and the 65-and-older age group’s share of the total population is projected to rise from 17 percent to 23 percent, according to the PRB.
