Abstract
The countries of Latin America are experiencing a process of ageing in the population that is closely linked to their current stage of overall demographic transition. Several, having achieved a more advanced stage in the transition, now find that over 10% of their total population is at least 60 years old; these are the first to begin grappling with the social and economic challenges this process entails, one of which is the growing role of women in society, owing to their longer life expectancy. In coming decades, these challenges will be felt ever more urgently by countries that today are in full demographic transition —the most heavily populated ones of the region— where poverty levels continue to be high.
