Globally, populations are growing, people are living longer, and the number of the elderly in every society is growing annually. In the United States, the older population is not only growing but highly heterogeneous and complex. Structural, economic, and health inequalities affect healthy aging differently for different groups in society. Government, policymakers, and planners are addressing these issues to plan effectively for the aging population. Understanding factors contributing to structural, socio-economic, and health inequalities in the United States is essential for gerontology counselors.
