The number of people aged 65 and over has surpassed the number of children aged 5 and under globally for the first time, according to reports from Axios and the U.S. Census Bureau. This shift is attributed to declining birth rates and increasing life expectancy. The elderly population is projected to grow from 852 million in 2025 to 2 billion by 2060, with most of the world's population growth occurring in low-income countries.
