The number of people worldwide aged 65 and older is projected to more than double to nearly 1 billion in the next 30 years if current trends continue, according to a recent study conducted based on U.S., UN and European data. The data for people aged 65+ when viewed as a percentage of country population, as well as for specific high-income regions, may be summarized as follows:
Canada 19.03% (2022) 31.55% (2100) Hong Kong 20.47% (2022) 41.64% (2100)
Japan 29.92% (2022) 38.70% (2100) Singapore 15.12% (2022) 36.51% (2100)
Taiwan 16.71% (2022) 37.32% (2100) U.S.A. 17.13% (2022) 30.47% (2100)
This global report shows the predicted increase will put pressure on governments’ abilities to address health care, retirement benefits and other social and age related issues. In Canada, provincial governments already spend an average of 40% of their annual budgets on health. With ever increasing demands and costs of maintaining the public healthcare system, long waiting lists for medical procedures and overcrowded emergency rooms, the result is inevitably substantial cuts in certain health care expenditures.
Consequently, demand for private home care services will increase exponentially during the next 30 years and beyond. The recession-proof home care industry is now one of the fastest growing industries in the world today.
