The world’s population is aging, and the United Nations’ World Population Aging report paints a striking picture of the future. It states, “Population aging is unprecedented, without parallel in human history—and the twenty-first century will witness even more rapid aging than did 65 years old just past”. In the United States, for example, every day since 2011, 10,000 people turn the century, and this trend will continue until 2029.
