Dans le monde, et surtout en Europe, au Japon ou en Corée du Sud, la population vieillit : on vit plus longtemps et on fait moins d'enfants. Selon les Nations unies, d'ici 2050, environ une personne sur six dans le monde aura plus de 65 ans. Conséquences : il faut financer davantage de retraites et de soins avec proportionnellement moins de travailleurs, d'où des débats sur l'âge de la retraite, l'immigration ou la natalité. Mais c'est aussi une chance : les seniors s'engagent comme bénévoles, gardent leurs petits-enfants, et font naître une « silver economy ». Statistiques : one in six, twice as many, by 2050, will have + participe passé.
