摘要：Between 1950 and 2050, population aged 65 and over in the Mediterranean will pass from 15 to 126 million people; that is to say, one in five inhabitants of the Mediterranean area will be a senior in 2050. The process of population aging in the Mediterranean region shows, on a small scale, the changing demographic structure that will affect the entire planet. All Mediterranean countries, regardless of their demographic, economic, social, political and cultural differences, will be subject to significant changes in its age structure, which will become characterized by an increase in both the absolute and relative amount of the seniors. In this context, although differences will be significant among countries in both the pace and the intensity of the phenomenon, the universality of it emerges as the relevant feature.
