Age Wave

The Age Wave refers to the significant demographic shift caused by increased longevity and declining birth rates, resulting in a larger proportion of older adults in the population. This shift impacts healthcare, retirement systems, and social services, as societies must adapt to a growing senior demographic with evolving needs. It highlights opportunities and challenges related to aging, such as supporting older adults’ well-being, managing economic implications, and rethinking intergenerational roles. Overall, the Age Wave emphasizes the importance of preparing communities and systems for an aging population to ensure quality of life and sustainability.
