Aging is taking place alongside
other broad social trends that will affect the lives of older people. Economies
are globalizing, people are more likely to live in cities, and technology is
evolving rapidly. Demographic and family changes mean there will be fewer older
people with families to care for them. People today have fewer children,
are less likely to be married, and are less likely to live with older
generations. With declining support from families, society will need better
information and tools to ensure the well-being of the of the world's
oldest citizens.
