Human development and ageing

Europe's population growth is falling and its citizens are ageing.

By 2050, the number of people over 65 in the EU will increase by 70 %, and the number of people over 80 will grow by 170 %.

In response, governments must address the economic and social implications of an ageing population. They must also prepare for increasing demands on healthcare, as a rapidly ageing society heralds growing populations with chronic diseases, disabilities, and increasing health needs.
