More Minnesotans are aging alone. Here’s how we can address their biggest challenges
Retirees make up a significant portion of Minnesota’s population, and yet many are finding themselves without support as they enter their later years.
According to census data from 2022, there are more than 300,000 people over the age of 65 who live alone in Minnesota. Add in the fact that one in six Baby Boomers never had kids, and that leaves many without support as they age.
Maureen Schneider is vice chair of the Minnesota Board on Aging. She joined MPR News Host Cathy Wurzer to break down what resources are available to solo agers.
