Abstract : The global demographic landscape is undergoing significant upheaval due to three primary factors: shifts in fertility rates, changes in mortality, and resulting transformations in population age distribution. Declining fertility rates in many regions are reshaping family structures and reducing population growth, while improved healthcare and living conditions are extending life expectancy and lowering mortality rates. Together, these trends lead to a growing proportion of older adults, creating an aging population that places unique social and economic pressures on healthcare, pension systems, and labor markets. Understanding these dynamics is critical for policymakers and planners, as they must adapt strategies to address the opportunities and challenges associated with demographic change. (Coontz, 1992)
