Is the whole world aging?

The so-called aging means that more than 60 people in a society are increasing, exceeding a certain proportion, such as 10%. Except for Africa, the Middle East, China and the United States, most other regions are aging. The following is a reference article, I hope it will help you.

When it comes to aging population, the first country people think of is either China or Japanese. The chart recently released by the World Health Organization (WHO) shows the whole picture of global aging, from which we can find that the proportion of the elderly in Australia and most American countries is not as small as everyone thinks, and the speed of global aging is not as slow as some people think.

On the occasion of the World Health Assembly's adoption of the Global Strategy and Action Plan on Ageing and Health from 20 16 to 2020, WHO published the global ageing chart based on the data of 20 15 years. As shown in the figure, in 20 15, Japan was the only country in the world with at least 30% nationals over 60 years old. Including China, Europe as a whole, Australia and North America, most parts of South America, parts of Central Asia, North Asia and Southeast Asia, it belongs to the "second echelon" where the elderly aged 60 and above account for 10-30%. The proportion of the elderly in Africa, Greenland, South Asia and Arabia is below 10%. By 2050, China, Iran, Canada, New Zealand and most parts of Europe will enter the "first echelon" where Japan is located, and the elderly will account for at least 30%. The areas where the proportion of the elderly is less than 10% are mainly in Africa.
