A change in the age structure of the population within a country, a rising average age and a growing number of people living beyond the standard working ages. Population ageing happens when the median age of a country or region rises due to rising life expectancy and/or declining fertility rates.

Population ageing is an increasing median age in a population because of declining fertility rates and rising life expectancy. Most countries have rising life expectancy and an ageing population, trends that emerged first in developed countries but are now seen in virtually all developing countries.

The United States' older adult population can thus, be divided into three life-stage subgroups: the young-old (approximately 65 to 74 years old), the middle-old (ages 75 to 84 years old), and the old-old (over age 85).

Overview. An older person is defined by the United Nations as a person who is over 60 years of age. However, families and communities often use other socio-cultural referents to define age, including family status (grandparents), physical appearance, or age-related health conditions.

The standard indicator of population aging is the old-age dependency ratio (OADR). It takes the number of those who have reached the state pension age and divides it by the number of 'working age' (16-64 years) adults to measure the dependent elderly population relative to those who pay for them.
