This article examines various ways of thinking about long-term care for baby boomers in the United States of America, the 76 million people born between 1946 and 1964. It begins by discussing trends that need to be taken into consideration. Next, it reviews why long-term care policy discussions need to be based upon recognition of the importance of the informal exchanges of care that occur over people's lifetimes, primarily in the context of the family. The final section presents two ways of thinking about challenges posed by the aging of baby boomers - the generational equity/crisis perspective and the generational investment/gradual adjustment perspective.
