As the U.S population ages and becomes increasingly diverse, people of color are projected to comprise close to half the population of adults ages 65 and older by 2060. Consequently, the health-related experiences of older people of color will increasingly merit attention from policymakers and health care professionals to ensure that the health care system meets the needs of an aging and increasingly diverse population.

Over time, higher costs and sluggish wage growth have left more Americans financially vulnerable — many are what's known as "ALICEs." Nearly 40 million families, or 29% of the population, fall in the ALICE category — Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed — according to United Way's United For ALICE program, which first coined the term to refer to households earning above the poverty line but less than what's needed to get by.

Australians are having fewer babies, so many fewer that without international migration our population would be on track to decline in just over a decade. In most circumstances, the number of babies per woman that a population needs to sustain itself - the so-called total fertility rate - is 2.Australia's total fertility rate dipped below 2.1 in the late 1970s, moved back up towards it in the late 2000s (assisted in part by an improving economy, better access to childcare and the introduction of the Commonwealth Baby Bonus), and then plunged again, hitting a low of 1.59 during the first year of COVID.
