Summary:

"What will it mean for all of us to grow up, live and age in a society where half the citizens are over the age of 50? That reality is closer than most of us are willing to imagine. Never in human history have so many lived for so long - and not just in the United States. It is a global phenomenon, ushering a spectacular social transformation. Coming of age in America tells the story of it's dimensions, challenges and opportunities." -- Container.
