How Can These Challenges Be Addressed. The changing of disability rates, the size of the economy and efforts at privatization may affect how much of an economic burden these programs will impose in the future. As a result, household financial wealth in the world's major economies will be roughly $31 trillion lower in 20 years than it would have been if historical demographic trends had persisted. Raising the retirement age, easing restrictions on immigration, encouraging families to have more children, and achieving faster economic growth will have little impact on this shortfall. To fill it, households and governments will have to increase their savings rates and national economies will have to allocate capital more efficiently, thereby boosting returns (Farrell, 2005).

The life of Joan was anything far from normal. Weighing less than 100 pounds for more than five years, she has found herself suffering from something far worse than the tribulations of a typical middle-aged woman. Starting at a young age, Joan strove for perfection in order to please her parents, but there were a number of things that prevented her from completely doing so, including being overweight. Joan also suffered a huge loss when her brother’s life was taken by a car incident that happened under her supervision. This led her parents to be overprotective and probably led to an unhealthy relationship between Joan and them. Eventually, Joan got married and became pregnant, gaining 80 pounds in the process.

I started off by gathering research for the demographic factors that would be easy to find for both cities by looking at the US Census database as well as the American Community Survey database. I was able to get through this process fairly quickly because the US Census publishes ‘quick facts’ about each city and I was able to do a side by side comparison between San Jose, CA and St. Louis, MO. After filling out the main demographics, it was time to fill the table with health prevalence rates, number of uninsured people, food insecurity and etc. I was able to find a lot of the health rankings through BRFSS. CDC and County Health Rankings (refer to table for specific information). I used County Health Rankings in the case where I wasn’t able

During this time period, there was a boost in the U.S. birthrate, and according to History.com, this baby boom is arguably due to Americans desiring to get back to normalcy after 16 years of war and depression. Because people are living longer and the birth rate is declining in America, Baby Boomers are the fastest growing demographic (Jacobson, 2015). According to Jamie Carracher, a digital health strategist, approximately 80 million Baby Boomers became senior citizens as they turned 65 in 2011.

Benjamins and Whitman (2014) were able to conduct a research study in four different communities in the state of Chicago that examined the correlation between disparities or discrimination among racial/ethnic groups and it’s effect on the quality of healthcare and outcomes. The title of the study is the Relationship between discrimination in health care and health outcomes among four race/ethnic groups. Healthcare disparity is one of the major issues that the healthcare system in U.S is facing and the authors of this study stated that although this issue is huge, not many researches have been done on the issue.
