Article Excerpt:
INTERNATIONAL: "Ageing populations: Things to look forward to; Live longer, die slower," The Economist, 2 August 2008, p. 63.
Five-fold increase for India and six-fold for China by 2050 WRT to an over-80 population, totally collectively over one billion over age 65. As for Old Core, it gets older. Now only 1/6th of Old Core over 65 and only a quarter of them over 80. By 2050, that's a quarter over 65 and roughly 40% of them over 80. By 2050, 4 out of every 5 deaths in the world will occur to people over 60: either cancer, heart/lung/other organ failure and dementia. Those are the three biggies. Don't sell my clothes, Martha! I'm a ways from heading to heaven!
