Ageing in Asia

Aging in Asia refers to the growing number of older adults due to increased life expectancy and declining birth rates. This demographic shift presents challenges such as higher healthcare and social support needs, economic impacts from a shrinking workforce, and changes in family dynamics. Countries like Japan and South Korea face rapid aging, prompting policies focused on healthcare, pensions, and elder care. The trend reflects broader improvements in healthcare but also requires adaptations to ensure the well-being and active participation of older populations in society.
