Longevity
As advances in medicine, and improvements in living standards have taken place, more people have been able to live for longer.
Also known as 'life expectancy', longevity can vary greatly across different regions. However, a general increase of long life is happening world wide, and the United Nations has estimated that by 2050, one-third of the populations of developed regions and one-fifth of the population in less-developed regions will be aged 60 and over.
