The population aged 65 and over. In absolute numbers this group is growing faster than any other: it expands both from the rise in life expectancy and from the entry of the large cohorts born in the middle of the 20th century. Japan and Italy lead by share of population, China and India by absolute number, and the divergence of the two rankings shows where the load on health care and pensions is larger in scale and where it is sharper.
Important: The threshold of 65 years is an international convention and is not tied to the retirement age of any particular country.
The share of older people in the population — the main measure of a country's aging.
