But the reality is that working, caregiving, and volunteering can yield benefits to families and society. Engagement is naturally occurring, but as a rapidly aging society, how do we maximize it and expand opportunities and choices for engagement?
Held once a decade since , the conference is designed to help chart a national policy course on aging. The meeting on July 13 will focus on four major areas: retirement security; healthy aging; long-term services and supports; and protecting older Americans from financial exploitation and neglect.
In the past few months, the White House Conference on Aging website has become a national forum for gerontologists, social workers, and experts like Gonzales. Because both of his parents were busy working—his father as a truck driver, his mother at a series of minimum-wage jobs—Gonzales spent every summer from age 5 to 14 with his maternal grandparents in El Paso.
Eventually, he and his mother moved in permanently with his grandparents in El Paso. They are also more likely to work in physically demanding jobs with a higher risk for workplace accidents and injuries and they are more likely to be victims of violence. Retirement security is an especially important issue for boomers of color, who have historically earned significantly less than white workers, Delgado notes, and also have significantly less savings, and so depend to a far greater extent on Social Security.
