According to U.S. population projections from the Pew Research Center, non-Hispanic whites will remain a majority of the elderly [over age 65], but their share will drop markedly to 63% in 2050, compared with 82% in 2005...The share of blacks [over age 65] will grow from 8% in 2005 to 12% in 2050; the share of Asians will grow from 3% to 8%." (p. 21)
