In 2021, about 17% of Americans were 65+. That was up almost 4% from 2010, when about 13% of the nation’s population fell into that group.

#Data #Age #Population
The mormons: always making babies!
We all age at the same pace. Some are older.
The useless eaters
god whoever mixed the sound, awful, just awful
What are the Projections?
If they want more kids,just go to any inner city hood. There should be 8 to 13 kids per single adult household. Unfortunately,the way kids are taught and their work ethics,or lack thereof,is more of a concern as all of the lazy weak youth of today are in no way going to want to work our infrastructure jobs.
Those inner-city kids have the decks stacked against them. Don’t try to make it seem like “inner city” people as you say are lazy and just products of single parents. Say what you feel. If you believe it’s just a certain skin tone of people just say that. But being real, people are a product of their environment. Jobs left inner cities in the early 90s. Yeah, George hw and Clinton done that.
Would you want to work in a construction job? lol
@Minisith Unknown I do work construction jobs. Someone has to do it. It pays well and builds your body strong.
@Minisith Unknown I have worked in land clearing and septic tank placement. So yeah I would work in construction.
😂😂this is waste of news
I’m very against illegal migrants but I think it would be a good idea to let families with young children in because eventually, they will be contributing to society. They will be absolutely needed.
They are absolutely needed.
Where are they going to live though? If you want to tackle an ageing population then we must tackle the root causes and not the symptoms.
@JustusDemocrats want them over here, Just not in THEIR neighborhoods..
The groups getting older are the ones they want to..
Well if Democrats had Aborted this Senior Citizens We would not have These Problem..Liberals passed an abortion right up the 9th month..Why can’t Democrats pass a Law to Abort Citizens over 65..
the grays will have to work longer, because kids coming out of school can’t drive, are barely educated, and think a work week is 4 days. They believe the other 3 are for smoking weed. Someone will have to pull the load for them
feminism …
Translation: People are getting older. File this under the DUH category.
All BS
I wish everyone just stopped having kids. The world doesn’t need more people.
Fully agreed. Sadly most people don’t understand this
“Don’t worry white people we promise to treat you with the same respect you gave us”
.George Lopez😂😂😂
If they just retire, we can take their jobs, earn more and have more children.
The system is making that harder though. My dad is a retired veteran and he had to work because our government kept denying him his benefits.
I’ve met lots of elderly people working who work because their benefits through food stamps or healthcare got denied.
I’m 40. Me and everyone else older than me are older working for health insurance. That’s it.
So if the government passes a bill that’s Healthcare for All, we would quit. Problem is we can’t quit.
In four years I’m even getting to step down from my management hours, but I would still be working. Why? For the health benefits my job offers me.
I pay for Short-term disability and I did use it after 11 years and it only pays for 6 months. Originally it was 12 months but the plan got downsized. And you don’t tour full paycheck either. So while you’re not getting your full paycheck, you still have to pay for your own health insurance, even though you’re not working. My job has a program where if you’re not working for three weeks, a program they’re on kicks in and pays for your health insurance until you come back to work when you’re on disability. My job also offers Life Insurance free of charge and if you become hurt or ill while employed, whether on the clock or off, and can no longer work because of it. They’ll still send you your paycheck every week. This is true because I work with a guy who had open heart surgery, 5 years later he was still getting his paycheck.
So if the government would step up and start taking better care of their citizens. We would step down.
I’m literally working only for the health benefits. My house is paid off now.
So Messi is not white even tho he has Italian ancestry but because he was born in Argentina and because they speak Spanish he isn’t white 😹😹😹😂. What about the Asians that migrated all over Latin America they aren’t Asian anymore cause their first language is Spanish? The African decedents aren’t black they are Hispanic too. What about native Americans tribes that don’t even speak Spanish but they are all over South America and live in a Latin American country are they Hispanic? The mestizo population?
They cut him off mid-sentence! Who does that!
White replacement
Just like whites replaced natives.
boomers are the worst generation in human history
Yeah the country and the world will die eventually.. the cost of living cant just rise forever. Sorry to sound dark but its true. Well be there eventually so enjoy what you have now
I will miss you Chuck!
90% of Boomers will be dead by 2030. There is no demographic crisis.
The next generation to retire are Gen X, which is the smallest generation. They are smaller than Millennials and Boomers.
Don’t worry, we’ll take care of y’all as well as you took care of us 😉
🙂☕
Lol exactly
Sorry you had crappy parents. My grown kids have all offered to help as their dad and I age.
why would i have kids when i can barely pay my own rent alone in taxxachusetts..
This planet needs less humans, not more
Sadly western women don’t want to mate anymore 😕 it’s not men falt, see…..where feminism brought our society to become….now women think they’re men and want to be men thus making them no linger desiring a man to build a family. The western culture have gone very badly.
That explains immigration.
Oligarchies brought us to this point.
That’s what you get when you go full woke and forget about the men. There is no way i’m having a kid in this country.
Lol 😂 did he say there more Hispanics in the west and south that’s why there a younger population?
Please deinterlace your video!
The population growth rate for the US is nearing zero. Not a joke. And it’s likely to go negative at some point without immigration. We need more (legal) immigration.
I kind of see where he’s going with these statistics, at least I think I do
tf up with this cheerful music? 💀
Nobody is aging faster than others. It’s just that whites and Asians tend to have better overall healthcare than blacks and Hispanics, that’s why they’re living longer. I think this is what they call “fake news”…
You are showing a lack of understanding and claiming this is fake news makes you look disgustingly ignorant. This isn’t about people living longer it is about not many babies being born, less babies means less young people and so the old people make up a bigger percentage of the population
George Soros is replacing elderly white people with mutant cyborg Guatemalans from Mexico.
About time for another virus targeting older people eh?
i swear covid must have been released for exactly this problem 🤣
Remember when Elon got laughed at for saying population collapse?
Yeah me neither
I remember. My friends are still laughing at Elon. Embrace the population decline.
Forget having kids of your own. This is a matter of financial survival
Not an issue if we accept the reality that immigration has been an economic strength and benefit to past and future generations.
Legal immigration, correct!
@Rack False. All immigration. There was a reason why they didn’t put safeguards in the Reagan amnesty package.
If you mean driving down wages and undermining leverage for american workers to the point that everyone is replaceable.. yeah sure. Corporate america wants workers not kids.
Children aint worth the work. They give you grey hair. People are not having Children because there is better birth control methods. You dont JUST END UP with a passle of young-uns any more. Unless you issue nannies, people aint going to have a bunch of kids.
At this point it is irresponsible to bring someone into this world, especially in this country.
It’s been irresponsible for decades 😂
You know I pulled the plug on our wall clock, yet here I am 5 years later, looking 5 years older. who woulda thunk it?
Wait doesn’t that mean hispanics are dieing younger?
NOT TO WORRY LOW PAYING CORPORATE AMERICA. THE REPUBLICAN FORCED BIRTH PROGRAM YOU PAID FOR WILL TAKE CARE OF THIS. NEVER MIND THAT THEY WILL DIE YOUNGER BECAUSE REPUBLICANS DON’T BELIEVE IN SCIENCE OR HEALTH CARE FOR AVERAGE AMERICANS.
Great that people are having less kids… Economically it will be a challenge but it can be done. China made the 2 kids law and China’s economy has done wonderful the last 20 years.
Waste
This here as you all keep pushing the chemical mutilation and physical castration of kids who will not be left alone to decide for themselves as adults… if they want to reproduce or not.
you can’t seriously be blaming trans people for population decline. that’s dumb af
“Why aren’t the wage slaves bringing in more wage slaves to replace them!?” — Wealthy Republican Donors
“WaaAAaaaa”- You
The Dems are the same
bUt ThE pOpuLaTiOn Is AbOuT tO cOlLaPsE!
@Joey Harper “I’m a dumb wage slave who works at Taco Bell and votes to give billionaires tax breaks.” – You
@Thieving Panda Majority of the people that work at taco are Hispanic. Very racist of you. But then again, Most Democrats are.
It’s expensive and challenging to have children.
this is because modern women didnt listen when we told them they’re being too picky and now the birth rate is declining and those already born are from the boomer generation who are getting old.
Senior citizen here .. born and worked for over 50 years .. Maybe on the streets soon .. Elderly Housing rent increasing to over 83% of my fixed income 😢
I’m scared .. anybody else 😮
Completely false statistics. The chart is actually flipped upside down. Lol
What about the combover America, which Chuck Todd is party of?
America will be Native Again.
He says on his colonialist phone on his colonialist internet 😂
@skate and create How original. Do you all read from the same racist script or something?
Don’t worry we won’t be around much longer under hyperinflation.
Boomers are fading away? Best news all day! 👍
Once again jealousy rears its ugly head 👹 There’s a good reason the Boomers are called “The Greatest Generation” but you’re likely either too young or too dull to have studied your world history to make sense of all that
yes we can’t wait to see how much you f up the country when you are in charge
Good info, but the fast-paced loud drumming drowned out Chuck’s voice, and was way out-of-sync with the vocal pace, ceating problems in this gal’s ADHD brain. Drop the background drums.
That’s a huge challenge. The boy scouts, and priests are going to be too busy with funerals and helping people cross the street to play gender check. What are they going to do?
As far as the government is concerned young people basically aren’t even allowed in 😂 whole country run by corrupt senile people who have had their positions their entire adult lives
you just described biden perfectly.
The way it is going now Democrats will have America destroyed long before this
Funny how there was more older white people
They have better healthcare
The U.S doesn’t consider this a huge issue otherwise we would see for incentives like in china
Wait, how can the white population be aging faster? I don’t understand these stats.
And ppl still wonder why abortion rights were overturned. Anyone else having trouble buying or finding birth control? Anyone else wonder why the government continues to let poverty soar? Poor people statistically have more kids. That number is even higher if they are uneducated. Anyone else wonder why the reproductive health classes that used to be required to graduate have all but disappeared? Or how about the federal $3K child tax bonus during tax season? Every person bearing a Social Security number has a literal monetary value to the United States government. The power of a country comes from its people.
China is facing a similar problem due to their generation long “One Child” policy. They are now offering incentives of any and every thing you could think of to try and get their citizens to make more citizens. There are whole cities in china that have no inhabitants. Like, the opposite of “build it and they shall come”.
He says whites aged at the fastest rate, NO, they aged at the slowest rate from 2010 to 2021 at about 30% increase in the 65+ age group.
And this guy probably makes over million dollars a year and doesn’t know basic math concepts.
Exactly why we need young strong immigrants.
Hispanics are taking their country back. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Why by race though? Who cares. You guys just can’t help it.
This statistical mentality will not help or save or love anyone ‼️‼️🇺🇸🇺🇸💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💢💢 Please read Iron John and The Sibling Society by Robert Bly.💙🗡️🇺🇸‼️
When racial numbers are a little more even in this country and some of these old world people die off, we will be able to make the USA into the country it was meant to be.
That guy is sooo creepy!
Because nobody wants to have kids with a leftist agenda to destroy their future
The root cause is concentrated wealth.
Hispanics should be more welcomed in this country than Asians. Sorry not sorry, it was their country first and Asians have a whole other continent to look at, Hispanics have nothing.
The background music is very distracting.
Ice hole….
Won’t be missed . Bud light News
Yay! Our population is contracting following that horrible baby boom. Now, the Earth can recover from human overpopulation.
Sorry for those that lives in a state that makes them age faster.
The older population is getting wealthier than the shrinking young population.
*United States of America USA 🇺🇲
America is a continent.
An American is from the Continent of America.
Fauci and democrats have tried their best to take out the older generation with covid that Fauci helped make in lab with funding and lies
Time to get the boomers that brought us Trump and MAGA out of here!!!
Even my nose hair turned gray
Because the younger generation are being killed off at a staggering level.
The world will be a better place when some of these people croak.
Boomers need to take an early grave
*laughs in childfree*
Who would want kids this day in age, with all the school fights and shootings. You have to be making really good money now to afford having a kid. In a small town might be o.k. but you most likely wont be having a high paying job either.
I came to watch what it means for “the nation’s future”. What I got was demographic statistics
Smart you would move to where the population is aging because you’ll be the next in line to fill the top positions. Stupid you will go to where life is “vibrant and fun” and you’ll get trampled by 5 million other people trying to make it. Why did I live the city as a young guy? Because I cared more about long term growth than I did “having fun”. Done dream chasing. But 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️. To each their own. I hear denver is great 😂
I’m sure that doesn’t make the Fox News crowd very happy!
Black people are dying young.. Lack of healthcare, education, housing and voting rights are the culprits..
Behold the great replacement plan ,we’ve already lost the usa
All the girls are groveling for the affection of the rare Gigachads.. Meanwhile the rest of us guys are gaming and throwing our hard earned money at E Thots
The corporate donors who bribe our politicians have made health care on all levels too expensive, driven up the cost of education, and made rental property plus homes unaffordable to potential families and parents. That is the real reason why young people don’t want to have kids. Instead we scapegoat the immigrants, are the life blood of a prosperous country. During and after WWII, immigration helped fuel a post war economy that lasted decades and gave opportunities to build a sustainable economy. The decades since have seen a decline with the reverse of immigration policies. Keep in mind every American can tie their blood line to an immigrant who traveled to America, including the bigots and racist.
