Ageing Population Since early 20th century, the population of the United States of America keeps on growing and growing. The numbers reach from millions to billions and billions. The increase in aging population is bolting as days come about. Around the world, the population of older persons is growing by 2 per cent each year, which is considerably faster than the population as a whole. The older population is expected to continue growing more rapidly than other age groups for at least the next 25 years. (United Nations Population Division) One reason that the aging population is skyrocketing so high are because the baby boom, which occurred during the World War 2, which the birthrate increased so high because the thought of losing many individuals in the war. Also today people are waiting longer than in the past to have children and on average having less children. This means that younger segments of the population is shrinking and while the younger era of kids is shrinking, the baby boomers from World War 2 are continuing to age.
