Write a Comment

What challenges and opportunities confront a Connecticut whose population on average is older than the nation and becoming more so daily?

Hartford Business Journal staff spent months probing key business, nonprofit and government institutions and individual observers for answers. Starting today and continuing next Monday and periodically throughout the rest of 2015, an occasional series of reports and profiles will lay out not only where Connecticut ranks on the aging spectrum but also the potential impact the state's graying population will have in the workplace and overall quality of life.

Stories will also examine what many experts say is the state's leadership in resetting the paradigm for older citizens who seek a post-career life that is as productive as it is long.
