Aging: The Shifting Demographic
What are the Key Elements of Aging and "The Shifting Demographic?"
Aging isn’t all about the extra candle on your birthday cake. It is about the physiological, psychological and societal affects of growing older and, for many, reaching retirement age. In addition to the physical and emotional effects normally associated with aging - decreased mobility or cognitive functions - it affects society in many other ways.
As technological innovation grows in leaps and bounds, the world too continues to change exponentially. The increase in quality of life and average life expectancy in developed nations creates a pressing need for understanding how an aging society will affect our social, political and economical landscape. Issues such as innovation, consumption, production, recruitment and retention, healthcare services, and healthcare costs are increasingly at the forefront of our concerns today.
