Who will take care of us when we get old?
Unlike projecting how many jobs AI may eliminate over the next 10 years, or what a country’s birth rate might look like, there’s far less debate among policymakers about how large America’s older population will be in a decade’s time, and how many of them are likely to need direct care for disabilities. By 2036, as the baby boomers continue to retire, the US population 65 and older is expected to grow from 65.6 million to 77.5 million people, according to the Congressional Budget Office. The number of people 85 and older is also expected to nearly double in that time, from 6.8 million to 11.1 million. The question of whether the United States will have enough direct care workers — an umbrella term that refers to home health aides, personal care aides, and nursing assistants — looms large.

Are you abandoning the fight if you move from a red state to a blue one?
Your Mileage May Vary is an advice column offering you a unique framework for thinking through your moral dilemmas. It’s based on value pluralism — the idea that each of us has multiple values that are equally valid but that often conflict with each other. To submit a question, fill out this anonymous form. Here’s this week’s question from a reader, condensed and edited for clarity: I’m considering moving my family from a red state to a blue state. I’ve lived in a red state my whole life, and as a lesbian with a wonderful trans wife, it is hard. Moving to a blue state could give my wife and I better nondiscrimination protections, better worker protections, and better access to health care.
