1. The issue, conceptually Post-Millennials Baby Boomers Todd A. Berry, PhD ▪ Future Wisconsin Summit ▪ 12.09.2015

Demography is economic destiny  Pop. growth spurs economic expansion  New workers, more households  Demand grows, multiplies  More economic activity  More future workers Todd A. Berry, PhD ▪ Future Wisconsin Summit ▪ 12.09.2015

3. Impacts: Raising questions  Flat household formation; more seniors: Impact on income, consumption, markets?  No-growth workforce labor supply? wages? investment income?  Employers: Training, technology, location?  Public services: Funding? Competition — education vs. HSS? Electoral dynamics? Todd A. Berry, PhD ▪ Future Wisconsin Summit ▪ 12.09.2015

Implications for income, economy  Avg. HH income varies with age (’10) ex.: 45-64 $74,974 vs. 65+ $44,541  Age distribution changes, e.g. 65+: ‘10: 22% ‘40: 36% 45- 64: ‘10: 44% ‘40: 32%  Avg. HH Inc. (10$): $62,4 to $59,0 [-5.3%]  '10 Avg. HH Income '40 Dist Cons 14 wtd10 wtd40 '10 Dist Todd A.

Implications for consumer behavior  Avg. HH consumption (‘14) < 65 $56,433 vs. 65+ $43,635  Age distribution changes, ‘10 to ‘40   Avg. HH Cons. (14$): $53,4 to $51,7 [-3.2%] Todd A. Berry, PhD ▪ Future Wisconsin Summit ▪ 12.09.2015

Impacts illustrated (I): Tax collections  If average income (’10$) down 5.3% FY16 inc. tax $7.86b u $417m loss  If HH consumption down 3.2% FY16 sales tax $5.05b u $162m loss FY16 excise tax $0.68b u $22m loss . . . $600m loss in three major taxes Todd A.

Impacts illustrated (II): Medicaid  Medicaid (MA): 59% US/41 WI, clients budget shares: total and growth, not MC  KFF Cost for seniors: ‘11 vs. ‘11 w/ ‘40 pop. mix - 2011a: $7.03b total, $2.20b on 65+ (KFF) - 2011e if 2040 pop. mix [No cost inflation!] 65+: 148k >> 293k, $2.20b >> $4.35b - Total Medicaid costs: $7.03b >> $9.20 Todd A. Berry, PhD ▪ Future Wisconsin Summit ▪ 12.09.2015

State budget ripple effects  State Medicaid up $880m (11$)  State income tax down ~5%; sales tax, ~3% excises assume 3% (likely more). 11$ rev. loss: Inc. Sales Excise $533m = $373m $137m $23m $50 500m 0m $9 $900m 00m $1.4b .4b / $13.8b 3.8b F11 11-12 12 ‘Swing’ 10%+ Todd A. Berry, PhD ▪ Future Wisconsin Summit ▪ 12.09.2015

Other areas . . . e.g., education  All education: Increased neg. consequences for: unreal expectations, poor advising, no HS diploma, poor personal planning and choices  Higher ed.: More competitors for fewer consumers. Issues of quality? discounting?   K-12: Age shift, staff shortages, wages  Declining enrollments = lack critical mass insm. dist’s or high p.p. costs for ‘lean’ product Todd A. Berry, PhD ▪ Future Wisconsin Summit ▪ 12.09.2015

Other areas . . . e.g., real estate  Home construction, new homes?  Oversupply of large, high-end? Prices?  Condo/retirement/assisted living demand  Commercial: Rentals? Retail? Technology matters more. Todd A. Berry, PhD ▪ Future Wisconsin Summit ▪ 12.09.2015

Responding: Quick thoughts  Employers: Accelerate training/career paths, ‘senior’ rules, retirement policy  Technology ‘holes,’ bandwidth  Labor supply and education:  ― K12 grad. rates, rigor/remediation, academic/career advising, tech. training ― University’s admissions, time-to-degree, major advising, student debt  Migration: US law, state needs, rare skills Todd A.
