Global aging: the challenge of success

How population ageing will challenge all countries

By: Kinsella K & Phillips DR
Produced by: Population Reference Bureau (PRB) 2005

This issue of the Population Bulletin examines the causes of global population ageing and considers related dimensions such as the importance of health improvements and the effects of extended life expectancy for the individual wellbeing of older people and for social costs related to health care. It also considers whether mounting evidence of declining disability at older ages answers the question: are longer life expectancies accompanied by better health or simply more years of poor health?
