Intergovernmental Management: The Silver Tsunami Effect, an Essay
Journal Title: Studies in Social Sciences and Humanities - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
This essay aims to examine one of the most important trending discussions in the twenty-first century, the silver tsunami [ages 55+]. For the past ten years government officials have had debates on the impact of a “silver tsunami” in public management. In public management the silver tsunami has been characterized as “a sudden wave of baby boomers retirements that could potentially cripple public management networks.i” These discussions have called into question whether public management networks are prepared to accommodate the influx of baby boomers request for retirement and/or early retirement? Alternative questions posed; will the silver tsunami migration cripple the economic landscape in America? This article seeks to examine plausible techniques to minimize harm to baby boomers and the economy. This article parallels inter governmental management (IGM) and intergovernmental relation (IGR) properties to examine the impending silver tsunami crisis in the American public domain. Finally, this article questions the veracity of age discrimination and antidiscrimination laws.
