Global Aging

Global aging refers to the increasing proportion of older people in the world’s population. As life expectancy rises due to improved healthcare and living conditions, and birth rates decline in many countries, societies are seeing more seniors than ever before. This demographic shift poses challenges, such as the need for healthcare, pensions, and social support systems to accommodate an aging population. It also presents opportunities, like leveraging the experience and skills of older adults. Understanding global aging is essential for planning sustainable policies that ensure quality of life for all age groups.
