Abstract

The United States is aging, and many baby boomers are reaching or will soon reach the retirement age of sixty-five. At the same time, Millennials—the largest generation in U.S. history—have faced problems of high rents relative to incomes, and volatility in housing markets. These shifts are reigniting debates about how changes in age structure will affect housing and labor markets.
