U.S. Census Bureau estimates indicate a continued rise in the older adult population, while the number of children is decreasing. From 2020 to 2024, the population aged 65 and older grew by 13%, while those under 18 declined by 1.7%. Over the last century, the older adult population has climbed considerably, increasing from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 study reported that nearly half of adults in this age range, approximately 28 million, are expected to need long-term services and support, with more than one-third potentially requiring nursing home care at some point.
“Living a long life is something that many of us want and could get,” said Jesse Slome, executive director of the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance, an insurance education group. “But when we live a long life, the chances of us needing long-term care increase exponentially. But when you need that type of care, there are limited options.”
