Global Ageing
According to the United Nations Programme on Ageing, 10% of the world population is aged 60 or over.
It is projected that this figure will reach 20% in 2050. In recent decades the increase of longevity has been clearly seen across the developed world, caused by low birth rates and a decline in mortality levels. But developing countries are also experiencing the same phenomenon. Ageing is a common challenge (and opportunity) for this century.
