A new study conducted by the nonpartisan American think tank Pew Research Center revealed that share of people in the United People who aged 65 or older will rise by 2050. According to the study, the country has not been experiencing the same gray wave that a number of developed countries in Europe.

The study showed that about 20% people in Germany and Japan are 65 or older, while a majority of countries in Europe are close behind. In the United States, about 13% people are 65 or older. Data of United Nations stated that the US ranked on the 42nd nation on the planet onthis measure out of about 200 places in 2010.

Pew Research Center’s ‘Aging around the Globe’ study showed the share of the population aged 65 or older. According to the United Nations, there are possibilities that the populations in the all regions of the globe will age dramatically in next few decades and Europe and North America have been expected to lead the trend.

At present, about 16% of the Europe has people who aged 65 and older, while North America has 13% people who aged 65 or older. According to the reports, by 2050, about 27% of the Europe’s population will be at least 65 years old or older than that. North America’s 22% people will be at least 65 by 2050. The Oceania continent’s share of older people is expected to rise from 11% to 18% by 2050.

According toPew Research Center’s studyshare of the elderly population in other parts of the globe is still quite low, but there are possibilities that the population of elders people is expected to rise. “At present, just 7% of people in Latin America are aged 65 or older, but that number is expected to reach 19% by midcentury. Asia’s population is expected to undergo a similar transformation”, the study showed.
