Demographic ageing

Demographic aging refers to the increasing average age of a population over time. This happens when fewer children are born and more people live longer due to advances in healthcare. As a result, the proportion of elderly individuals grows, and the population as a whole becomes older. This shift can impact society’s economy, healthcare system, and social services, as more resources are needed to support an aging population. Essentially, demographic aging reflects a transition toward a higher number of older adults relative to younger generations within a community or country.
