The aging population in Australia

Aging is an inevitable phenomenon in the biological life cycle. With an objective and rational attitude, it should be appropriately a positive experience and represent a major multidisciplinary achievement. Obviously, personal attitudes may be influenced, adversely or otherwise, by the individual’s cultural values, health status and financial resources. Changing social attitudes, with young men and women electing to remain single or marry at later ages and with women opting to stay in the workforce in preference to having children, have led to a lower fertility rate. At the same time, a healthier environment, various technological advances and improved health care have resulted in a decline in mortality rate. These together have caused population aging over the last 100 years, and the rate of aging has been accelerating, especially in developing countries. People now live longer and are older, and there are proportionately more aged people in the communities.
