The fact that baby boomers are retiring in a predictable historical pattern means that a shortage of workers may be a challenge to businesses that have been counting on older workers in the coming years; plus, fewer workers will be around to contribute to Social Security and Medicare.
A larger retiree base could impact social patterns, such as leisure, politics and shopping. Another interesting poll finding: Male boomers are retiring earlier than female boomers.
