| Summary, etc | The global demographic landscape is undergoing a notable transition, with societies becoming increasingly older. In the 20th century, population ageing as a concerning policy issue was largely restricted to high-income countries. However, demographic transition has become a global phenomenon now, with low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) expected to face more drastic changes. A majority of the world’s population now anticipates living into their 60s and beyond. One of humanity’s greatest triumphs is the ability to live longer, and yet, not all of those years are spent in excellent health. Good health and well-being in later life must be ensured for every individual, lest it create a dependency burden (WHO 2020). The simultaneous decrease in fertility and mortality rates has gradually shifted the dependency burden from the young to the older adult population. Over the next 50–60 years, the global population is expected to continue rising, peaking at around 10.3 billion in the mid-2080s, from the current 8.2 billion. It is projected that by the late 2070s, the number of persons aged 65 years or above will surpass the number of children below 18 years, while the number of older persons aged 80 and above will outnumber infants under one by the mid-2030s (UN 2024).-Reproduced https://www.epw.in/journal/ageing-health-and-social-security/ageing-transition.html |
