Document Summary

Demographic structure of society overview [lots of repeat to above but a new ka video] Different ways you can look at population of group. Groups you can put society into to look at trends and statistic (ex. Education levels and death levels for different age groups or races or ethnicities. Statistics for immigrant"s vs native born, of people of different genders, sexes, or sexual orientations). We look at statistics for jobs, money, income, education, quality of life, access of healthcare (factors that affect the individual). Split population into groups and compare their lives. Each generation have similar events and time periods. Elderly people have harder time having health insurance (pre-existing conditions, more likely to sick). 65+ age group growing, people are living healthy lives for a longer period of time and can work for longer period of time. Age can be just a regulator on behavior. Global health improvement = older people are valuable in society.
