@dailymail: The world has reached a major demographic turning point, with people 65 and older now making up a larger share of the population than children ages 5 and younger. The shift is being driven by falling birth rates and longer life expectancy, trends that are reshaping populations far beyond traditionally aging countries. The number of people 65 and older is expected to nearly double between 2025 and 2060, when they could make up almost one in five people worldwide. The change could have major implications for everything from health care and retirement to the size of the global workforce. #world #news #Science #birthrate #family
