11 Countries With Highest Aging Population

10. The Isle of Man

Median age: 43.7

The Isle of Man is a self-governing British crown dependency. The country is not part of the UK, but the UK is responsible for its defense and international representation. According to The World Factbook 2013-2014, 19.81 percent of the population are citizens over 65 years. At the same time, most recent projections estimate that by the year 2035 the number of older people will increase by 75 percent, which means that aging-related expenditure will rise for £ 169 million. A few solutions for the problem of aging population have been proposed – reform of social care and pension system, the attraction of foreign workers and reduction of dependency of older residents.
