challenges resulting from a greying population An aging of population (also known as demographic aging‚ and population aging) is a summary term for shifts in the age distribution (i.e. age structure) of a population toward older ages. A direct consequence of the ongoing global fertility transition (decline) and of mortality decline at older ages‚ population aging is expected to be among the most prominent global demographic trends of the 21st century. Population aging is progressing rapidly in many
