Fragmento

The proportion of older people in the general population is steadily increasing worldwide, with the most rapid growth in lowand middle-income countries. This demographic change is to be celebrated, because it is the consequence of socioeconomic development and better life expectancy. However, population aging also has important implications for society – in diverse areas including health systems, labor markets, public policy, social programs, and family dynamics. A successful response to the aging population will require capitalizing on the opportunities that this transition offers, as well as effectively addressing its challenges.
