Aging population

Aging is a very serious problem

in almost every developed
country.

What are the reasons?

1) Family planning
2) Changing attitudes
3) Increased longevity

Lets see these reasons one by one

FAMILY PLANNING
people get married later than previously
they dont want to have more than one child

due to contraception they are successful in it

The result: steady decline in birth rates

CHANGING ATTITUDES
Remaining single
Concentrating on professional career
Economic consideration
and of course:
Marrying at later age
planning less children

The result: lower fertility rate

INCREASED LONGEVITY
Healthier environment
Better hygiene
Improved healthcare
Socioeconomic development
Increased food intake
Advanced technology

The result: increasing life expectancy and

lower mortality

Conclusion
Lower birthrate,
lower fertility rate,
lower mortality,
increasing life expectancy

Aging population

See the predictions:

the world is not ready to take care of

so many elderly people

DEMOGRAPHIC CHANGES AND AGEING ARE

PRESENTING DEVELOPMENTAL CHALLENGES
FOR MANY COUNTRIES, WHICH MAY GROW
OLD BEFORE GROWING RICH.
