Abstract

Persistent advancement in healthcare has increased the average life expectancy globally in the last few decades, increasing the proportion of the aged, and the oldest old. Published past findings indicate significant variabilities exist between countries and continent with relevance to societal well-being, pension policies, and labour compensation. Thus, the prospect of ageing gracefully especially in the case of he old unable to work further pose as an additional burden to the ageing society and the World. The aged will live longer, and even though the current advocated healthcare practices has added years to life, the expenditure incurred, and difference in the quality for care offered questions the credence of the current system. Careful planning to formulate the best-aged care policies and plans may still be a pending need to objectively justify the factors addressing the inconsistencies faced by the aged and the retired.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Mortality rates: Mortality is typically represented as a rate of death per 1000 individuals in one year, also called the death rate. For calculation purposes, the mortality rate is deduced by dividing the number of deaths in a given time for a given population by the total population.

  2. 2.

    Excess mortality rates deaths per 100,000, and the number of reported all-cause of deaths is higher than expected deaths.

  3. 3.

    Old-age dependency ratio compares different population groups dividing those considered ‘dependent’ over those considered ‘productive’.

  4. 4.

    Total fertility rate according to WHO, sum of age-specific fertility rates (usually referring to women aged 15–49 years).
