Week 9 | Aging | Lee Jaseseong

1. Summary
The world population is aging at a rapid pace. People over 65 make up a large part of the world's population and the rate will continue to increase.
Population aging means an increase in the proportion of senior citizens. Here the old man refers to people over the age of 65. The elderly population itself is getting older. The oldest population is the fastest growing group of senior citizens.
Aging causes various policy problems. First, the biggest problem is the reduction of labor. Health is also an important issue, and happiness and quality of life to death are also a problem. In this regard, welfare policies are also being talked about.
