Abstract

Population ageing has been one of the main demographic trends in the Nordic Region during recent decades. The process of population ageing can be understood as an upward shift in the population age structure. This means that there is a decline in the proportion of children and young people, along with an increase in the proportion of older age groups. As population ageing is a major development that can be seen throughout the Nordic countries and elsewhere in Europe, it has emerged as a central question in public debate and on the policy agenda. Ageing is perceived as a challenge that will result in greater economic and societal demands in all countries, and it is widely considered vital to plan and prepare for its impacts.
