| Resumen: |
Low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are aging 2.5 times faster than high-income nations — creating urgent challenges and unprecedented economic opportunities for governments and communities worldwide.
By 2050, LMICs will be home to 80% of the world's adults over 65, with older women facing 15% higher poverty rates while living nearly four years longer than men. These demographic shifts demand practical solutions to enhance income security and capture the $118 trillion older adults will contribute to the global economy by 2050. Investing strategically in aging populations drives inclusive economic growth, reduces poverty, and creates cross-generational opportunities.
AARP's ARC 5.0 Insights Brief, with data and analysis by Economist Impact, provides quantitative evidence on effective programs and their broader economic impacts, offering policymakers actionable insights to transform demographic challenges into opportunities for sustainable, equitable development. |
