Globally, the population is aging. In 2000, approximately 10% of the world’s population was older than 60 years old. By 2050, 21.1% will be older than 60. The issues now confronting the United States and other developed nations will emerge for other nations as their populations age, demographics change, and populations become more urban. In the next 50 years, we will see three worlds of aging—those of the developed nations, the developing nations, and the nations whose economies are in transition. Each world will face unique challenges and also offer insights into the best ways to care for those at the end of life.
