scenario sketch (proof of evidence?)

Many but not all current projection models for the world population are pointing to a future of elderly people. The current data is projecting an increase of the population of 65+ to be almost a quarter of the population 21.6% by the year 2016. By 2050 there will be an increase of 180% more people over of the age of 80 than today. This means that the we will need a social shift from our current model and integration of elderly people either back into a system (re-entry). Or the system needs to be implemented today so when we reach this the platform is in place. We are then designing our social security platform and society so there are safety nets in place in which our current model can not support.

We currently live in a society where we live on a system of a younger generation taking care of an older generation. What do we do when this is inverted? What does our society look like and how will it function? Can we create an evolving social system / network digital or analog that will evolve with us? What will an info-structure look like with in this new society, will it be based on a points system and monetary exchange, a hybrid of a barder system?
