We are on our way to a population of over 10 billion people by the end of the century fueled by:
- Extremely high birthrates between 1945 and 1970
- Much lower child mortality in almost every country
- A very big “Boomer” population (76M in the US or over 400M in China)
- People worldwide living longer (9% longer in 2030 than in 1980)
By 2030 over 20% of the world’s population or 2 Billion people will be over 50 years of age. In the US alone it will be over 25% or 90 million people. This population has many currently unmet needs and even more not yet even known or understood. Small and incremental efforts and change will not be enough and we need very big thinking.
We call this Moonshot thinking and we want to attract as many people as possible to this worthy cause including researchers and research institutions, philanthropists, investors, educators, ideators and entrepreneurs and, of course, 50+ adults themselves.
What Do Adults Over 50 years of Age want and Need? A Report by Silver Moonshots
In conjunction with the local non-profit HARC, Silver Moonshots has created an extensive report on the older adult population in the Coachella Valley in California. This 300+ page report is rich in detail across a range of unmet needs of the adults of 50 years or more and can be used to not only better understand the issues but to extrapolate from the data to wider population at State, Countrywide and even worldwide level to start to think about new innovations or technologies that may be useful.
