Question

Examine the decades 1970, 1990, and 2010 in this

population pyramid C for the United States. Consider any
significant shapes. In particular, note the large bulge that travels upward through the pyramid over time. This bulge
represents the baby boomer generation, a generation of Americans who were born in the United States immediately
following World War II (1939-1944). How do you think this generation has impacted the U.S. economy through the
years? How might it impact the U.S. economy and politics in the future?

Answer 1

Answer: As the huge population of baby boomers went through life, their needs shaped many aspects of U.S. society. According to the U.S. population pyramid in 1970, the baby boomer generation was primarily under the age of 20. Boomers would have been too young to join the workforce. However, their large population still helped grow the economy because of the number of products they and their families consumed. By 1990, the baby boomer generation was between the ages of 20 and 45. During that decade, this group made up a large percentage of the U.S. workforce. In 2010, the baby boomer generation was between the ages of 40 and 65, and some probably began to retire.

Today and into the future, the baby boomers continue to affect the nation in many ways. As they age and start to retire, many baby boomers will vote on issues that relate to their generation. In particular, programs such as Social Security or Medicare will continue to be important.

Answer 2

Answer:The Boomer generation led to the U.S. economy growing significantly thanks to the increased population size. The generation will however lead to increased U.S. debt in future which would be bad for the economy.

How have the Baby Boomers influenced the U.S.?

The Baby Boomers allowed the U.S. economy to grow significantly thanks to the increased productivity that their higher population numbers brought.

As they aged however, they began to rely more and more on social security benefits. With baby boomers being so large in number, the U.S. has had to resort to borrowing to maintain social security payments.

This has placed a burden on the U.S. economy that can only get worse as time goes by.
