Until 2100, the world's population is expected to be ageing. Whereas people over 60 years made up less than 15 percent of the world's population in 2022, this share is estimated to reach 28 percent in 2100. On the other hand, the share of people between zero and 14 years was expected to decrease by eight percentage points over the same period.
