摘要

Driven by aging Baby Boomers, longer life expectancies, and shifting economic demographics, accessibility and universal design trends have never been more necessary than they are now.Currently, nearly one-third of Americans are between the ages of 55 and 73, and by the year 2035, the U.S. Census Bureau estimates that there will be 78 million people who are 65 years and older. 1 Additionally, the 2017 World Economic Forum forecasts that by 2050, the number of people in this age bracket in the workforce will increase fourfold.
