11 Countries With Highest Aging Population

9. Greece

Median age: 43.8 years

Debt crisis, immigrant’s influx, high unemployment rate…. these are the problems Greece has been struggling within last few years. Compared to these issues, aging population looks like a piece of cake. However, the fact is that 20.46 percent of Greeks are older than 65 years and that currently there are 2.65 million pensioners. Although Aging Report projects that expenditure for pensions will decrease by 1.9 percents in next fifty years, Greece is the country which until recently has had the weakest pension system in the world. Now it is eight lowest, and pensions remain central issue in negotiation between IMF and Greece’s government.
