1,Millennials: Myths & Realities | May 2017 | Public,Global AdvisorViews on AgingFebruary 2019,2,Millennials: Myths & Realities | May 2017 | Public,Key FindingsU.S. Findings Overall, working-age Americans (18-64) fall slightly above the global average in terms of optimism about aging and are right in line with the averagein what age is considered to be old. The older working-age Americans get, the more they prioritize spending time with loved ones and de-emphasizing work. Working-age Americans are the most worried about not having enough money to live on, being unable to do things they once could, and losingmemory. The U.S. has one of the highest proportions of people who believe there is a lack of respect toward the elderly, but working-age Americans are lessinclined to believe that the elderly lack political clout.Global Findings Globally, only a third are looking forward to old age, although there is considerable variation between surveyed countries. The global average for when we think old age begins is at 66, although this number varies according to respondent age; younger people believe ithappens earlier while older people believe old age happens later. A majority expect to be fit and healthy in old age and believe it is possible for people to prepare for old age.,3,Millennials: Myths & Realities | May 2017 |
