What will we do with the baby boomers?
This was the name of a paper delivered at the 10th Biennial Conference of the Australian Population Association in Melbourne, 2000.
They're talking about us, studying us and holding conferences about us. People are obtaining government grants to write papers about us. Very amusing.
The aim of my venture Baby Boomers Rights is to find out just how much is actually being done to promote the welfare of baby boomers. Apparently there are 5 million of us in Australia.
Anecdotal evidence suggests to me that we have to look after ourselves. There's a lot of window dressing but not much substance as far as government programmes go (yes, I spell it with two mm's).
My future posts will deal with topics such as legal rights, health, finances and life style. I'll find out where the government money is going and I'll tell you.
I'm a taxpayer and likely to be for many years yet and I'm sure that there are a lot of other baby boomers in the same category. I'm a baby boomer not so much talked about as talking back. Hope you are too!
Information and support for baby boomers: legal; financial;health; consumer rights; social contacts.
