"Don’t trust anyone over 30" was a catchword (口号) of the youth culture in the pastdecades. Now that saying is being turned on its head as America undergoes a transformation from a society for youth into a nation in which middle-aged and elderly people set the pace by mere force of number. For the first time in U.S. history, there are more people of 65 and over in the population than teenagers, and by 1990 the number of older citizens is expected to exceed 31 million, while the teenager population shrinks to 23 million.
The rise of 30 and 40-olds means an expanding market of housing, furniture, computers and other high-tech goods. The increase in middle-aged Americans, along with the rise in families with both husband and wife working, forecasts an explosion of buying power as large numbers of people have more to spend.
Further along on the age scale, a growing market for luxury items and travel services among "the active rich" over 50 is found. Products aimed at this section range from magazines to sun glasses. These changes are bringing a new look to advertising. Couples with children as well as older people are now commonly shown in ads for everything from cars to frozen foods.
Films are changing, too. Two recent box-office hits that appeal to an older audience deal with subjects of interest to adults. The aging of the population is also producing a drop in the Crime rate. Studies show that young people are more likely to be lawbreakers. As their numbers decrease, so does crime. Spending preferences are being affected. Researchers say that many communities are putting more emphasis on keeping property taxes down, even if that means spending less on schools. Schools have become less important and long-term health care more important as America becomes a society with fewer children and more old people.
