Number of seniors globally exceeds young children for the first time
According to a report by the US Census Bureau, individuals aged 65 and older (10.5%) now outnumber children under the age of five worldwide for the very first time in history. This demographic shift, caused by decreasing birth rates and increased life expectancy, is putting pressure on healthcare and pension systems. By the year 2060, older adults are projected to make up 19.6% of the global population. Europe is experiencing the most severe impact, with its fertility rate dropping to a historic low of 1.34.
