Ageing Population

Population ageing is a phenomenon that affects almost every developed country in the world, including Ireland. The number and the proportion of persons aged 65 years and over is increasing and is projected to continue an upward trend over the next three decades. Population ageing has resulted primarily from a long-term fall in fertility rates and an increased life expectancy.
