Demographic Determinants of Long-Term Care Needs in Aging Societies

Quick fact

By 2050, the number of people aged 60 and over is projected to double to over 2 billion, and the number of people needing long-term care could triple compared to 2015, in many regions outpacing the growth of the working-age population.

Why this is interesting

Imagine a country where more people are over 80 than under 5. What happens when so many people need help with daily tasks, and there aren't enough young people to help?
