Do you know anything about international seniors ' Day?

The International Year of Older Persons (Analysys day of Older Persons), after World War II, significantly reduced the number of newborns, and life expectancy rose from 20 years in 1950 to the current 66 years. This two-way development has led to an ageing of the demographic structure of almost every country in the world. According to the relevant United Nations regulations, a country over 65 years old in the total population of older persons accounted for more than 7%, or more than 60 years old population of more than 10%, it is called "Elder" country. With the exception of a small number of African countries, the demographic structure of almost all countries is ageing, due to the declining birth rate of the population and the increasing average life expectancy

International profile

currently, in more than 190 countries and regions around the world, about 60 have entered the "elder". At present, China's 60-year-old people over the age of 132 million, is about to enter the "elder" of the ranks of the country. It is estimated that over the next 50 years, the number of elderly people will probably quadruple, from 600 million to nearly 2 billion. Today, there is an elderly person in every 10 persons. By 2025, the world's elderly population will reach 1.121 billion. By 2050, the total number of older persons aged 60 and over is nearly 2 billion, accounting for 20% of the total population and will exceed the total number of children under 14 years of age. Centenarians will grow from about 210,000 in 2002 to 3.2 million. By 2050, Africa's ageing population will rise from 42 million to 205 million, Asia from 338 million to 1.227 billion, Europe 148 million to 221 million and America from 96 million to 300 million. Currently, the world's most populous country is Italy, which accounts for 25% of the population. By 2150, One-third of the world's population is expected to enter misses.


Population aging has become a prominent social problem in the world today. The increase in the number of retirees, the prolongation of human lifespan and the acceleration of small children have led to a shortage of labour, which has increased the burden on the working population and society as a whole. In the European Union, for example, 73% of the EU's labor force feeds 27% of retirees by the end of 2000, and by 2050, 47% of the workforce will support 53% per cent of retired people over 65 years of age. According to population experts, by 2030, the population aged 65 and over in the Western 7 major industrialized countries will account for 22% of the total population, compared with 12.5% in 1980. The number of elderly people over 60 years old in Japan, the United States and Germany will double after 40 years. If current social security and welfare policies are unchanged, the Italian government's pension spending will be 5 times times higher than it is now by the beginning of the next century. In developed countries, Japan's ageing population is growing at twice times that of West Germany, 7 times times the size of the United States. This 20 years ago the world's younger industrialized countries became the most aging country by the end of this century. The rapidly ageing population has made Japan's labour shortage, and the Japanese government has had to encourage retired seniors to continue working. An ageing population will also increase the burden of social support for older persons who do not engage in economic activity. At present, about 6 working people in Japan need to raise an old man, and by 2025, 3 people will raise 1 people.
