Lifetrends: The Future of Baby Boomers and Other Aging Americans

The compilers of this comprehensive view of the ``baby-bust'' generation, i.e. tomorrow's adults, are marketing consultants to firms that court the 50-plus consumer. As they take a speculative look toward the year 2000, when adults over 50 will represent an $800 billion market, they conjecture on directions in lifestyles, politics, health care and other areas in the next century. Based on analysis of current trends, this informative survey offers a wealth of material, especially for those born since the 1950s. (Feb.)
