Aging of the African population

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Relying on her relevant experience, the author treats the subject of aging African population and its impact on the continent. The problem of population aging is global. The author states: as regards Africa, by 2050 the number of 60+ persons living there is expected to grow from 50 million to almost 200 million. Still, some African countries are ill-prepared for such growth of senior citizens. Consequently, the non-existence of a pension system, social support network and services available to seniors, as still encountered in some African countries and regions, is alarming.2 The aim is to present the global aging problem in Africa in the context of social and development aid. Addressing the theoretical level of the problem, the author pays attention to the life expectancy and the age median, both factors apt to change fast on the continent. Subsequently, the author utilizes her own research to elucidate the social &amp; economic consequences of population aging. She employs her qualitative surveys to suggest hypotheses worth further inquiry. In discussion, the author presents social systems and models of social protection intended to help the African seniors.
