Population Ageing

Population ageing refers to the increasing proportion of older individuals within a population. This trend occurs due to declining birth rates and longer life expectancies, leading to fewer young people and more elderly. As the workforce ages, societies may face challenges like increased healthcare demands, pension sustainability, and potential labor shortages. While it reflects advancements in medicine and living standards, population ageing also calls for adjustments in policies, urban planning, and social services to support a growing elderly demographic and ensure that different age groups can coexist harmoniously and productively.
