In 2022, about 17.3 percent of the American population was 65 years old or over; an increase from the last few years and a figure which is expected to reach 22 percent by 2050. This is a significant increase from 1950, when only eight percent of the population was 65 or over.

A rapidly aging population

In recent years, the aging population of the United States has come into focus as a cause for concern, as the nature of work and retirement is expected to change in order to keep up. If a population is expected to live longer than the generations before, the economy will have to change as well in order to fulfill the needs of the citizens. In addition, the birth rate in the U.S. has been falling over the last 20 years, meaning that there are not as many young people to replace the individuals leaving the workforce.

The future population

It’s not only the American population that is aging -- the global population is, too. By 2025, the median age of the global workforce is expected to be 39.6 years, up from 33.8 years in 1990. Additionally, it is projected that there will be over three million people worldwide aged 100 years and over by 2050.

In 2020, about 17.9 percent of the population in China had been 60 years and older. This share is growing rapidly and was estimated to reach 40 percent by 2050. China's aging population With China’s boomer generation growing old and life expectancy increasing at the same time, the number of people at an age of 60 or above nearly doubled between 2000 and 2020 and reached around 255 million. This development is even more pronounced for the age group of 80 and above, which nearly tripled and is expected to reach a size of roughly 132 million in 2050, up from only 32 million in 2020. At the same time, the share of the working-age population is forecasted to decrease gradually from 64 percent of the total population in 2020 to around 50 percent in 2050, which could pose a heavy economic strain on the social security system. The old-age dependency ratio, which denotes the relation of the old-age to the working-age population, is estimated to grow from 18.2 percent in 2020 to more than 50 percent in 2050, implying that by then, statistically, two working-age adults would have to support one elderly. Strain on the social security net During the last 15 years, China's government has successfully increased the coverage of the pension insurance and health insurance. Today, most of the people are covered by some kind of social insurance. Conditions in the pension system are generous, with a regular retirement age for males at 60 years and women at 50 or 55. With the number of retirees increasing quickly, the social insurance system is now under pressure. From an economic point of view, improving the productivity of China's economy would be the primary choice for mitigating alleged inconsistencies of the system. However, without increasing the burden on the working people while tightening payment conditions, balancing the social security net could prove to be challenging.

In Sweden, the share of elderly of the total population has increased since 1970. Whereas people aged 65 years or more made up below 14 percent of the population in 1970, they made up over 20 percent of the population in 2023. In total, the population in Sweden increased steadily over the past decade and amounted to 10.55 million in 2023.

Aging population

As the average life expectancy at birth in Sweden increased over the past decade, meaning that people live longer, and the birth rate decreased during the same period, the average age of Swedes reached almost 42 years in 2022.

Aging population means smaller labor force

The aging population brings future challenges for the Swedish society. The increasing number of elderly needs care, but simultaneously, there will be fewer people at working age to take care of the elderly. At the same time, there will be fewer people available for other jobs as more people retire. By 2030, it is estimated that the share of the labor force aged 64 years or more will increase by two percent.

In 2023, the share of the population older than 60 years old in Thailand accounted for 20.17 percent. In 2040, the percentage of the population above the age of 60 years old is forecast to reach 31.37 percent.

As of January 2024, the population aged over 65 years in Spain amounted to 9.93 million people, thus continuing the upward trend witnessed in previous years. Between 2002 and 2024, the elderly population increased by almost three million. According to recent data, people aged over 65 years represent nearly a fifth of the Spanish population. Ageism, a growing concern As it is happening in most advanced economies, the Spanish population is getting older. The Mediterranean country featured a median age of 43.5 years in 2020, and it is forecast to reach 51.8 years in 2050. Life expectancy and the fertility rate are experiencing opposite trends, and while the former keeps improving, the latter continue to decrease. As a result, the Spanish population pyramid is turning into the contracting type, which has worrying social and economic consequences. Poverty among seniors The average amount of a retirement pension in the country is just over 1,374 euros a month, though this figure depends on the scheme and place of residence. There were almost one million persons receiving a monthly retirement pension which amounted to 600 euros or less in 2023. This scarce allowance can be insufficient to provide a good quality of life. Most recent data shows that over 18 percent of those aged 65 or older were at risk of poverty, an extremely high rate even though this was one of the age groups that featured the lowest risk of poverty. On average, 39 percent of the spending among this age group is channeled towards housing, water, electricity and fuels, which leaves little room for spending on other items (food, dress, services, etc.) for those millions of people whose retirement pension is not even close to the national minimum wage.

Increasing Number of Older Population to Provide Viable Market Output

The market expansion for antiaging products is mostly being driven by the growing elderly population. The number of elderly people is rising sharply. This is the outcome of several things, including decreased fertility rates, better living conditions, and advancements in medical care. The number of older adults in their 30s to 45s has been rising recently, as has consumer demand for antiaging products that prolong their youth. Furthermore, more than any other age group, middle-aged adults fear getting old since extrinsic aging signs are so prevalent. The look of the face is altered by intrinsic aging, also known as chronological aging. These changes include decreased skin elasticity and collagen, reduced melanogenesis, fewer hair follicles, wrinkles, and increased hyperpigmentation. In the same way, environmental aging brought on by pollution, stress, diet, and climate damages the dermis, compromising collagen and elastic fibers. People in their middle years have started using antiaging skin and hair care products because they want to look young. Due to the rising demand for skin care products like lotions, the market is expected to rise at a quicker rate over the projected period.

Increased Technological Advancements to Propel Market Growth

Skin tightness and elasticity are enhanced by technologically improved products and procedures. They aid in the efficient treatment of cellulite, sunspots, fine lines, and wrinkles to improve the suppleness of the skin. These products and techniques offer significant advantages in terms of effectiveness and non-invasiveness. The utilization of these solutions for both at-home and hospital/clinic use has significantly expanded as a result of these benefits. Therefore, developments in product composition and treatment techniques are boosting the antiaging products market.

For instance, in October 2019, the non-invasive electromagnetic technique known as StimSure was introduced in Europe and the Middle East by Hologic Inc.'s Cynosure subsidiary. By stimulating or contracting the muscles, the technology tones and grows muscle in the thighs, buttocks, and abdomen. It may provide up to 24,000 contractions in only 20 to 30 minutes, giving results that appear natural.

Therefore, it is anticipated that the launch of cutting-edge treatment solutions will propel the antiaging products market in the near future.

Market Restraints of the Anti aging Products

The market expansion for antiaging products is being hindered by the high cost of these products. Cosmetic items, such antiaging creams, serums, and other antiaging face cosmetics, can be pricey because they contain price...

In 2024, 24.3 percent of the total population in Italy is estimated to be 65 years and older. According to data, the share of elderly people in the Italian society has been growing constantly since 2009. Consequently, the share of young population experienced a decrease in the last years. As a result, the average age of Italians has risen. In 2011, it was 43.6 years, whereas in 2024 it was estimated to be 46.6 years. The oldest country in Europe Italy and Portugal are the European countries with the largest percentage of elderly citizens. In 2023, 24 percent of the total population was aged 65 years and older. Bulgaria and Czechia followed in the ranking, while Türkiye had the lowest share of elder population. An increasingly longer lifespan might provide an explanation for such a high share of citizens over 65 years in Italy. The Republic ranks among the countries with the highest life expectancy worldwide. In Europe, only people in Switzerland, Spain, and Sweden can expect to live longer. Fewer babies than ever The share of young people is getting slimmer, not only because the elderly are living longer than ever before. In fact, Italians are having fewer children compared to previous years. The birth rate in the country has been constantly decreasing: in 2023, only 6.5 babies were born per 1,000 inhabitants, three children less than in 2010. In the south of Italy, in 2023 the birth rate stood at seven infants per 1,000 inhabitants, whereas in the Center this figure reached only 5.9, the highest and lowest rates in the country, respectively.

Social technology can improve the quality of older adults' social lives and mitigate negative mental and physical health outcomes associated with loneliness, but it should be designed collaboratively with this population. In this paper, we used participatory design (PD) methods to investigate how robots might be used as social facilitators for middle-aged and older adults (age 50+) in both the US and Japan. We conducted PD workshops in the US and Japan because both countries are concerned about the social isolation of these older adults due to their rapidly aging populations. We developed a novel approach to participatory design of future technologies that spends 2/3 of the PD session asking participants about their own life experiences as a foundation. This grounds the conversation in reality, creates rapport among the participants, and engages them in creative critical thinking. Then, we build upon this foundation, pose an abstract topic, and ask participants to brainstorm on the topic based on their previous discussion. In both countries, participants were eager to actively discuss design ideas for socially facilitative robots and imagine how they might improve their social lives. US participants suggested design ideas for telepresence robots, social distancing robots, and social skills artificial intelligence programs, while Japanese participants suggested ideas for pet robots, robots for sharing experiences, and easy-to-operate instructor robots. Comparing these two countries, we found that US participants saw robots as tools to help facilitate their social connections, while Japanese participants envisioned robots to function as surrogate companions for their parents and distract them from loneliness when they were unavailable. With this paper, we contribute to the literature in two main ways, presenting: (1) A novel approach to participatory design of future technologies that grounds participants in their everyday experience, and (2) Results of the study indicating how middle-aged and older adults from the US and Japan wanted technologies to improve their social lives. Although we conducted the workshops during the COVID-19 pandemic, many findings generalized to other situations related to social isolation, such as older adults living alone.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the trends and factors associated with the antidepressant use among older adults. METHODS This population-based study evaluated older adults in 1997 (n = 351, baseline) and the survivors at the 15th follow-up year (n = 462, in 2012) among the aging cohort of Bambuí. The prevalence of antidepressant use was estimated, and the most commonly used antidepressants each year were identified. Prevalence ratios with 95% confidence intervals were estimated using Poisson regression with robust variance to investigate differences in the prevalence of use between 1997 and 2012. RESULTS The overall consumption of antidepressants (PR = 2.87, 95%CI 1.94;4.25) and of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (PR = 7.50, 95%CI 3.74;15.02) was significantly higher in 2012. However, no significant difference was observed in the use of tricyclic antidepressants between the two cohorts (PR = 0.89, 95%CI 0.49;1.62). In the 2012 cohort, antidepressant use was associated with females, increased age, increased income (≥ 4 minimum wages), self-assessment of health as reasonable, and attending ≥ 5 medical consultations in the last 12 months. CONCLUSIONS The increased consumption of antidepressants in the period due to increased use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors was consistent with results observed in international studies of different population groups and contexts. The positive correlation observed between antidepressant use and family income may be a warning of possible inequalities in access to mental health services.

In 2023, the share of the Malaysian population aged over 65 years was at 7.4 percent, an increase compared to 7.2 percent in the previous year. Malaysia is currently facing the prospect of an aging population, and the latest statistical data predicted this to be happening as soon as in 2030. Aging population by 2030? An aging population is defined as one in which those aged 65 years and above make up at least 15 percent of the total population. According to a statement by Malaysia’s Chief Statistician in July 2019, the 15 percent threshold would be crossed in 2030. The past ten years have seen a change in Malaysia’s age structure. The share of the population between 0 and 14 years had been decreasing steadily, while the inverse was true for those aged 65 and above. The average age of the Malaysian population reflected this trend, and was expected to reach 34.1 years in 2030, up from 28.2 years in 2015. Is Malaysia ready for an aging society? Academics fear that Malaysian society would not be ready to meet the needs of a rapidly aging society. In a survey on aging, more than 70 percent of Malaysian respondents felt that it was the duty of the young to take care of the elderly. This mindset places the burden of care on a shrinking base of young people. Not only that, it could contribute to the underdevelopment of social services for the elderly. Already, more Malaysians seemed pessimistic about aging. Existing problems such as a lack of professional caregivers, affordable care, and elderly-friendly housing, especially in rural areas, need to be quickly addressed before the silver tsunami overwhelms the country.

Market Dynamics of Fall Prevention Monitor Market

Key Drivers for Fall Prevention Monitor Market

Rising Aging Population and Increased Fall Risks to Boost Market Growth

One of the primary drivers in the Fall Prevention Monitor market is the aging global population, particularly in regions like North America, Europe, and parts of Asia-Pacific. With more people entering advanced age brackets, the incidence of falls has risen sharply, posing a critical health risk and leading to increased hospitalizations and extended care needs. Falls are a major cause of injury among older adults, contributing to bone fractures, traumatic brain injuries, and other complications. As healthcare providers and caregivers seek solutions to mitigate these risks, demand for fall prevention monitors has surged. These systems are designed to detect falls in real-time, alerting caregivers promptly, which can reduce response times and minimize fall-related injuries. For instance, In July 2024, Gamgee, an Amsterdam-based tech company, launched its Wi-Fi Fall Protection system, an AI-powered and advanced Wi-Fi fall detection system for elderly care. This innovative system enhances the lives of seniors by offering instant alerts to family members and caregivers through an app

Advancements in Smart Technology for Predictive Fall Detection to Drive Market Growth

Another significant driver in the Fall Prevention Monitor market is the advancement of smart technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) integration, which are transforming traditional fall detection methods into predictive and proactive systems. Modern fall prevention monitors can now analyze patterns in movement and behavior, anticipating potential falls before they happen, and providing alerts to caregivers or healthcare staff. These advanced systems use machine learning algorithms to learn and adapt to individual user behaviors, making them more accurate over time.

Restraint Factor for the Fall Prevention Monitor Market

High Initial Costs of Fall Prevention Monitors, will Limit Market Growth
