Ans.Today over 40 million Americans are age 65 or older.
The number of Americans ages 65 and older is today 46 million. It is projected to more than double to over 98 million by 2060. In percentage terms, the 65-and-older age group's share of the total population will rise to nearly 24 percent from 15 percent. Another point is that the older population is becoming more racially and ethnically diverse.
