Global Demographic Trend

Global Demographic Trend Demographic changes in the United States, China, or the world have major implications for investment. The world population today is growing faster than ever according the US Census Bureau; the world population was about 7 billion at the end of 2010. The number was more than double of 50 years ago. The total population is expected to reach 9 million by 2025. As world population continues to increase in a large number, the aging population will keep increasing as well. According to the aging statics given by USA.gov, 2011, “The older population has grown, which includes persons 65 years or older, and has reached 39.6 million in 2009” (USA.gov, 2011). 12.9% of the United States population is being represented as the older population and by the year 2030, the older population will up to an average of 72.1 million. In 2009, there were more than six thousand people who aged 100 years or more.

The demographic of the aging population will also create a demand for more health care professionals. They will more needs for geriatric experts including physical therapy, and mental healthcare workers. Those are profession who will end up needing workers in the near future and it will only expand even more. The impact of this demographic group will be on the health care costs and will have a particular impact on two industries, which are the medical services and pharmaceuticals. The market has not fully realized the importance of this trend because now the market is more focus on the technology. Compare to the demographic, people think the technology is more interested to invest because technology is now part of human’s life. People
