Ageing population
Uk
By 2041 25 % of the population could be over 65
Living longer because of advances in medicine And improved living standards
Pensioner boom due to the baby boom in the 1940s
Fewer young people
This causes problems such as more elderly people living in poverty and pensions are low
Also the working population has to work longer to pay for the ageing population
Plus the Health service is under Pressure
The uk therefore has tried to encourage women to have children and encourage immigration of young people to the uk
Strategies such as raising the retirement age and encouraging private pensions are to be put in place
