## Resource

Is society prepared for the economic and social impact of an aging population? In this insightful and provocative episode, Rob McConnell interviews Jim Bacon about Boomergeddon, a term used to describe the potential challenges and opportunities created by the retirement of the Baby Boomer generation. Drawing from demographic trends, economic analysis, and social observations, Jim discusses how shifting population patterns may affect healthcare systems, retirement programs, government budgets, labor markets, and future generations. He explores the implications of a rapidly aging population and the difficult questions policymakers, businesses, and families may face in the years ahead. This episode invites listeners to examine one of the most significant demographic shifts in modern history. How will the retirement of millions of Baby Boomers impact the economy? What challenges and opportunities lie ahead for younger generations? And what strategies can individuals, businesses, and governments adopt to prepare for the future? Join us for a compelling and thought-provoking conversation that explores the intersection of demographics, economics, and public policy—where understanding today's trends may help shape tomorrow's solutions.
