The Silver Tribe
Babyboomers Ageing with Attitude
You are in the right place!
Have you noticed Baby Boomers represent a demographic gap in the world? Society identifies the middle-aged and the elderly, but where do we fit? Many of us haven’t retired yet, yet once people do ‘retire’, it maybe some 20 – 30 years before people are ready for a ‘retirement home’. There is a ‘Silver Age’ long before there is a ‘Golden Age’, hence the Silver Tribe. As a demographic we are fast making up 1/3 of the global population. Generally, we are humble, hard-working, fiercely independent, naturally (post war) resourceful, private yet also social, we are wise with a lifetime of service, specialist expertise and a huge amount of life experience behind and within us. We may be currently challenged by life’s challenges, caring for parents, upskilling, managing work or technology and holding our own alongside confident younger generations. While we still may choose to serve our communities and care for our loved ones - it is also time for us! We deserve to be resourced with skills (both new and refreshed), to gain insight and understanding, and to be encouraged to live our best lives. If you are over fifty, you already belong to the Silver Tribe the post war Baby-Boomer generation born between 1946 and 1964. The are some 40 plus year olds keeping an eye on us too! Their time will come! Let’s gather the Silver Tribe together and see what in our later years we can do for ourselves, for each other and our communities! |
