Global ageing – challenges for society, public policy, and the economy
Journal Title: Zeszyty Naukowe Wyższej Szkoły Bankowej w Poznaniu - Year 2015, Vol 62, Issue 5
Abstract
The topic of ‘demography’ has been on the rise – so much so, that it seems impossible to stop. After all, the facts impressively speak for themselves: At the start of the 21st century, there were around 0.6 billion people aged 60 years and older, but by 2050, the World Health Organization (WHO) expects there will be more than two billion older people. This increase has wide-ranging social, socio-political, and economic consequences. This survey paper aims to analyse global ageing from a demographic perspective, focusing primarily on the consequences of shifting demographics toward older aged societies. The leading research question is: What are the social, socio-political, and economic consequences of global ageing? These demographic changes are important to the public, politicians, scientists, and businesses alike. Therefore, topical demographic research is not only desirable, but – from the perspective of many interest groups, companies, municipalities and associations – it is, in fact, essential.
