Today is the World Health day . As per the World Health Organization Official Website, World Health Day 2012 theme is Ageing and health – to which each and every one of us can relate. According to World Health organisation official report on world health day,population ageing is a global phenomenon that is now occurring fastest in low- and middle-income countries. While europe and Japan were among the first places to experience population ageing, the most dramatic change is now occurring
in countries such as Cuba, the islamic republic of iran and Mongolia.Population ageing is inextricably linked with socioeconomic development.Typically, as a country develops, more people survive childhood and childbirth, fertility falls, and people start to live longer. these changes in turn reinforce development. But they are also the drivers behind population ageing.
Unless societies adapt in ways that foster the health and participation of older people, this
inevitable demographic transition may slow down future socioeconomic advances.
