It is estimated that over 75 million people were born from all nationalities during this period. The Baby Boomers have been divided into two periods; leading edge which were born from 1946 to about 1955 and late boomers who were born from 1956 to about 1964. Baby boomers are more than just a group to be followed because of their potential to help the overall economy because of the size of the group (Hardy, 2013), but also for the potential perils that could happen as this group begins to pull on the resources of the United States. 1946 to 1964 has opened the doorway to the greatest potential for economic superiority for the United States through the birth of the Baby Boomer Generation. Key Economic Issues for Baby Boomers The more than 75 million baby boomers were starting to be born in 1946 which meant that companies that sold items appropriate for babies and their parents were taking shape. One of the companies that were spawned during this period was Gerber Product Company sold baby items from 1927, but the huge birthrates during the baby boomer generation allowed the company to skyrocket in sales. The needs of the baby boomers have driven the direction that many companies have taken from the time they came upon the scene (Field, 2005). From the need for braces and clothing, to the need for piano lessons and drivers licenses, baby boomers have driven the economy by the needs that they have had. This is not going to change anytime soon as there has been one other baby boom and will undoubtedly keep the trend going as time passes. Baby boomers will need car insurance, jobs, retirement advice, clothing, technology, and health care. The needs will only shift from one to the next and this could have great macroeconomic implications for the whole of the United States economy (Hardy, 2013). Ways to Navigate Economic Perils As the needs of the baby boomers are met, there will be a significant drain on the resources which then leads to controls and rationing. One of the greatest concerns that need to be dealt with is the need for health care as these baby boomers age (Barr, 2014). The sales of items like Lipitor, a cholesterol controlling drug, and Actonel, a medication for women with osteoporosis, have grown exponentially as baby boomers have greater needs for them. In order to cover the needs of baby boomers there will be a need to get ahead of the curve and make sure that their health is kept at the forefront. Retailers are going to find better success as they follow the baby boomer generations (Field, 2005). If preventative medicine is approved and passes through FDA with proper scrutiny, there is a better chance for their leading economic development in other areas. Another need that has to be planned for is the financial retirement of many who are well into the retirement years or soon will be (Shoven & Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association, 1995). The first step is to understand what they need, how it can be supplied, and then the best way to deliver it.
