The population aged 60 years and above is projected to increase from almost one million (988,000) in 2000 to over six million (6,319,000) by 2050. The female aged population will continue to grow faster and will increasingly be far higher than the male population for the advanced ages. Policies addressing the needs of the elderly will have to take the sex structure of the aged population into consideration.
