Discussing the place of the elderly in a technologically advanced society, the authors relate demographic change to social structure and social psychological changes. A series of model population profiles, including one which assumes zero population growth by 2028, are given. The present elderly population and its family characteristics are described, and the situation of the elderly under conditions of zero population growth is considered. It is felt that zero population growth would accelerate the role of government in providing housing, recreation, health care, and income maintenance for the elderly.
