HOW MANY OF 1914 GENERATION LEFT?

JH

My uncle was born in August of 1914, and he is still alive.....

No one born in 1914 will be alive 20 years from now.

Wow, is that worldwide? My dads MIL is 93 so must have been born in 1913. She could go on another 5 years, but shes like a dead stick who just keeps on tottering around. I cant imagine those guys will last much longer.

Last mentioned in WT in 1994 (I wonder why?):

The

1914 Generation

Only 272,000 of the 4,743,826 U.S. men and women who participated in World War I were alive in 1984. (Awake!, April 8, 1988) Today that number, according to the Department of Veterans Affairs, has dwindled to an estimated 30,000, and their median age is 95. Worldwide, however, in 1992 there were still 61,486,000 persons living of the generation born in 1914 or prior to it.

The United States has 1.3% of it's population at 85 or older in 2000. When they ran that census in 2000, the total population figures were

April 1, 2000 (Estimates Base)

281,424,602

That gives us 365,000 roughly at 6 years ago. As the rate of death accelerates dramatically as humans age, I guess you can extrapolate from there.
