-
This paper examines the aging of America and attempts to trace impact on vocational education induced by shrinking numbers of youth and growing numbers of older adults. Chapter 1 reviews characteristics of older persons, including geographic distribution, labor force participation, employment distribution, and unemployment. Chapters 2-6 trace dimensions and explore implications that a "graying America" will have for vocational education. Chapter 2 discusses social and economic forces that affect opportunities for older adults to be productively employed. In chapter 3 the principal federal employment-related education and training programs are described. Chapter 4 focuses on older adults as learners and discusses necessary supportive services. Vocational education as training for community service activities is addressed in chapter 5. Chapter 6 considers the role of vocational education in comprehensive service delivery. Chapter 7 focuses on the delineation of a role for vocational education through a series of recommendations directed at proposed changes in the structure and process of the delivery system. (YLB)
