| Tóm tắt: | The United Nations has recognized the fact that the older generation is
growing at a rapid rate, and estimated that more than 2 billion people will be
aged 60 and older by 2050. This will account for 22% (or one out of five) of the
world’s population, compared with only 10% in 2000, and this demographic
shift will be seen across all continents. Ageing is most serious in Europe, Japan
and China (United Nations, 2000). For example, MacNeil (1991) stated that,
‘as amazing as it seems, over one-third of all Americans were born between
1946 and 1964’ (p. 22). Australia’s ageing population is also increasing, from
around 12% in 1999 to between 24% and 26% by 2051, or one in four people
will be aged 65 and older (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 1999). |
