Abstract

People worldwide are living longer. Today most people can expect to live into their sixties and beyond. Every country in the world is experiencing growth in both the size and the proportion of older persons.

By 2030, 1 in 6 people worldwide will be 60 years or over. The share of the population aged 60 years and over will increase from 1 billion in 2020 to 1.4 billion. By 2050, the world's population of people aged 60 years and older will double (2.1 billion). The number of persons aged 80 years or older is expected to triple between 2020 and 2050 to reach 426 million.

While this shift in the distribution of a country's population towards older ages – known as population aging – started in high-income countries (for example, in Japan, 30% of the population is already over 60 years old), it is now low- and middle-income countries that are experiencing the greatest change. By 205the 0, two-thirds of the world's population over 60 years will live in low- and aging-income countries.

In Brazil, the population is getting older. Data released on 22/07/2022 at 10:00 am by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) show that, in 2021, Brazil had more than 10% of its population formed by elderly people aged 65 or over the deity. According to the survey, last year (2021), the Brazilian population was estimated at 212.5 million people. Of these, 21.6 million were aged 65 or over, representing 10.2%.
