1 Ιαν 2016 · Population aging is the 21st century's dominant demographic phenomenon. Declining fertility, increasing longevity, and the progression of large-sized cohorts to the older ages are causing elder shares to rise throughout the world.
These clear age-related differences suggest the value of collecting different types of data in different age subsets. The panel has chosen to use three age subsets: young-old (age 65–74), old (age 75–84), and oldest-old (age 85 and older).
1 Ιαν 2023 · Aging is rapidly accelerating worldwide; by 2050, the number of people aged 65 and older will have more than doubled to reach 1.5 billion and represent 16% of the global population. In this chapter, we offer an overview of this demographic trend at the global scale.
The rapid aging of populations around the world presents an unprecedented set of challenges: shifting disease burden, increased expenditure on health and long-term care, labor-force shortages, dissaving, and potential problems with old-age income security.
The trends for people to live longer and for families to have fewer children are changing the shape of the elderly dependency ratio—the population age 65 and over divided by the population ages 18–64, the working population.
