How Will Hawaii Handle its Aging Population?

Hawaii’s population is getting older. Right now over a third is over 50 years old. And that number is expected to grow by 29% over the next 20 years. HPR’s Molly Solomon reports some of the challenges of serving an elderly population.

In preparation for this year's legislative session, AARP Hawaii is holding a meeting on Tuesday,  January 7 from 10 am to noon at the AARP state office in Honolulu. For more information on how to get involved, call 545-6005.
