General Purpose: To inform Specific Purpose: To inform my audience how the elder care vocation can be a platform for promoting the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being of older people, something God values according to Scripture (Lev. 19:32; Job 12:12; Prov. 16:31; Isa. 46:3–4).

Introduction:

I. Attention-getter

According to Dr. Cathleen Carr, an eldercare specialist and founder of CetifiedCare, ‘The demand for elder caregivers is growing rapidly as the population of the United States faces record growth in the elderly population.’”[footnoteRef:1] Indeed, according to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, the demand for personal care aides will climb 70.5% between 2010 and 2020” (BLS).[footnoteRef:2] [1: http://www.prweb.com/releases/2012/1/prweb9119048.htm] [2: http://www.bls.gov/emp/ep_table_103.htm]

II. Motive for Listening

Elder care is an emerging job field with rewarding opportunities for people who want secure jobs, like many of you, could consider.

III. Credibility Statement

I have gained an understanding of this job field through my work as an elder care volunteer for the past two years and through formal research.

IV. Purpose or Thesis Statement

If you are looking for a career opportunity through which you can make a God-honoring difference in people’s lives, elder care is an emerging job field that could give you the excellent opportunity for which you seek.

V. Preview Statement

During the minutes that follow, I will explain discuss this job field, showing you, first, that America is an aging nation, second, that the nation has a growing need for elder care specialists and, third, that the elder care field presents great opportunities for interacting with people in a way that God values according to Scripture. Transition: Let’s take a closer look at this.

Body:

I. Main Point 1. America’s population is aging. A. According to statistics from the United Nations Population Division, the percentage of Americans who are age 65 and older has grown from 8.3% in 1950, to 9.8% in 1970, to 12.3% in 1990, to 13% in 2010. This figure is expected to grow to 19.8% in 2030 and 21.6% in 2050.[footnoteRef:3] [3: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2011/02/04/business/aging-population.html] B. The Population Reference Board, in a 2011 report, attributed this shift to a number of factors, such as declining birth rates, reductions in mortality at older ages, and the advances in the treatment of diseases and chronic conditions.[footnoteRef:4] [4: http://www.prb.org/pdf11/aging-in-america.pdf] C. As America’s older demographic grows, one reasonably infers, so will the demand for addressing the wants and the needs that older people often have. Transition: This brings me to my second point. II. Main Point 2. As America’s aging population grows, so does the nation’s need for elder care specialists. A. Citing a variety of supportive studies, the University of Albany’s Center for Health Workforce Studies claimed, in 2006, that “[t]he expected growth of the older adult population in the U.S. over the next 50 years will have an unprecedented impact on the U.S. health care system, especially in terms of supply of and demand for health care workers.” The factors contributing to this increased demand include the following:[footnoteRef:5] [5: http://www.albany.edu/news/pdf_files/impact_of_aging_excerpt.pdf]
