          Abstract

          Abstract The aim of this article is to reveal the spatial pattern of structural ageing at the local level in Türkiye and distinguish the ageing regions by linking this pattern with the demographic dynamics that establish it. The data for the study obtained from the Turkish Statistical Institute for 2020 to represent structural ageing, general fertility rate, the proportion of very olderly population, and in-migration and out-migration levels by districts were used for this purpose. The data were analyzed with the multivariate grouping technique. As a result of the analysis, Türkiye has been divided into four ageing regions with different characteristics. It was determined that structural ageing, fertility, longevity, and internal migration levels affect the character of each region in different ways and the regions were labeled in terms of ageing level. As a result, ageing regions can contribute to the development of useful regional strategies for policy and implementation programs.

          Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é revelar o padrão espacial do envelhecimento estrutural ao nível local na Turquia e distinguir as regiões de envelhecimento ao vincular esse padrão com a dinâmica demográfica que o estabelece. Os dados para o estudo foram obtidos do Instituto de Estatística Turco para o ano de 2020, representando o envelhecimento estrutural, a taxa geral de fertilidade, a proporção da população muito idosa e os níveis de imigração e emigração por distritos foram utilizados para esse fim. Os dados foram analisados com a técnica de agrupamento multivariado. Como resultado da análise, a Turquia foi dividida em quatro regiões de envelhecimento com características diferentes. Foi determinado que o envelhecimento estrutural, a fertilidade, a longevidade e os níveis de migração interna afetam o caráter de cada região de maneiras diferentes e as regiões foram rotuladas em termos de nível de envelhecimento. Como resultado, as regiões de envelhecimento podem contribuir para o desenvolvimento de estratégias regionais úteis para políticas e programas de implementação.

          The coming acceleration of global population ageing.

          The future paths of population ageing result from specific combinations of declining fertility and increasing life expectancies in different parts of the world. Here we measure the speed of population ageing by using conventional measures and new ones that take changes in longevity into account for the world as a whole and for 13 major regions. We report on future levels of indicators of ageing and the speed at which they change. We show how these depend on whether changes in life expectancy are taken into account. We also show that the speed of ageing is likely to increase over the coming decades and to decelerate in most regions by mid-century. All our measures indicate a continuous ageing of the world's population throughout the century. The median age of the world's population increases from 26.6 years in 2000 to 37.3 years in 2050 and then to 45.6 years in 2100, when it is not adjusted for longevity increase. When increases in life expectancy are taken into account, the adjusted median age rises from 26.6 in 2000 to 31.1 in 2050 and only to 32.9 in 2100, slightly less than what it was in the China region in 2005. There are large differences in the regional patterns of ageing. In North America, the median age adjusted for life expectancy change falls throughout almost the entire century, whereas the conventional median age increases significantly. Our assessment of trends in ageing is based on new probabilistic population forecasts. The probability that growth in the world's population will end during this century is 88%, somewhat higher than previously assessed. After mid-century, lower rates of population growth are likely to coincide with slower rates of ageing.

              Global Population Aging: Facts, Challenges, Solutions & Perspectives

              The rapid aging of populations around the world presents an unprecedented set of challenges: shifting disease burden, increased expenditure on health and long-term care, labor-force shortages, dissaving, and potential problems with old-age income security. We view longer life spans, particularly longer healthy life spans, as an enormous gain for human welfare. The challenges come from the fact that our current institutional and social arrangements are unsuited for aging populations and shifting demographics; our proposed solution is therefore to change our institutions and social arrangements. The first section of this essay provides a statistical overview of global population aging and its contributing factors. The second section outlines some of the major challenges associated with widespread population aging. Finally, the third section of the essay describes various responses to these challenges, both current and prospective, facing individuals, businesses, institutions, and governments.
