@therealdrpsychmom: For the first time in recorded history, older adults now make up a larger share of the world’s population than children age 5 and younger. This isn’t just an interesting demographic milestone. It will reshape families, workplaces, health care, retirement systems, and who provides care for whom.  Longer lives are something to celebrate, but an aging world will require major changes in how societies support both older adults and the often-overlooked family members caring for them. And this shift is only beginning: The global share of people age 65 and older is projected to nearly double by 2060. https://www.census.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2026/older-adult-population-projections.html
