Silver Tsunami

The "Silver Tsunami" is a term used to describe the large increase in the aging population, particularly people aged 65 and older. As birth rates decline and life expectancy rises, the number of seniors grows significantly. This demographic shift presents challenges for healthcare systems, social services, and economies, as they must support a greater proportion of elderly individuals who often require more medical care, assistance, and specialized services. In essence, it refers to the substantial wave of aging adults that society is experiencing and must plan for moving forward.
