Population Aging and Migration

Population aging refers to the increasing proportion of older individuals in a society, primarily due to lower birth rates and improved life expectancy. This shift can lead to various social and economic challenges, such as a shrinking workforce and higher healthcare costs. Migration plays a role in this dynamic; younger people may move to urban areas or other countries for better opportunities, leaving behind aging populations in rural or less developed regions. Conversely, some older individuals may relocate to warmer climates for retirement. Understanding these trends helps us grasp the evolving needs of both aging populations and communities.
