11 Countries With Highest Aging Population

8. Slovenia

Median age: 43.8 years

In Slovenia, 18.4 percent of citizens are older than 65. The aging report projects that working age population will decrease by 263 thousand, which is high if we have in mind that total country’s population is little less than two million. At the same time, ageing-related expenses will increase from 24.7 percent of GDP in 2013 to 31.5 percent of GDP in 2060. Speaking of the aging report’s projection, earlier this year finance minister Dušan Mramor said that Slovenia will have to address the aging problem by reducing the years of study, as well as by extending the population’s working period.
