Elderly Demographic Profiles of U.S. States: Impacts of "New Elderly Births," Migration, and Immigration.

Frey, William H.

Gerontologist, v35 n6 p761-70 Dec 1995

Examines how 1990 state elderly populations have been affected by "new elderly births" (a state's population, ages 55-59 in 1985, which survived to ages 60-64 in 1990) as well as by migration components. During the 1985-90 period, elderly births exerted a greater impact than migration on elderly gains and demographic composition for all states. (JPS)
