There are various facets to this phenomenon: increase in the size of the older population, longer life-expectancy and decreasing fertility rates. Countries experience a shift from a period of high mortality, short lives, and large families to one with a longer life, far and fewer children (United Nations, 2019). The global population is ageing rapidly at an unprecedented rate. As of 2015, the number of people above the age of 60 years stands at 901 million. This statistic is set to double by 2050 to a projected 2.1 billion, as suggested by the World Population Ageing Report (United Nations, 2019).
