Part 1: The Aging of PopulationsWhether we like it or not (or whether we admit it or not), all of us – as individuals - experience aging.
![Page 5: JCEP workshop creating aging friendly communities barber jensen knudsen updated april 1 2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55850937d8b42ab60a8b4660/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Aging in human beings can be measured in a number of ways: chronological, biological, psychological, social, functional, etc.
![Page 6: JCEP workshop creating aging friendly communities barber jensen knudsen updated april 1 2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55850937d8b42ab60a8b4660/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
How is Population Aging Measured?
![Page 7: JCEP workshop creating aging friendly communities barber jensen knudsen updated april 1 2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55850937d8b42ab60a8b4660/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Measuring/Tracking Population Aging
• Number of persons age 65+ in a population• Percent of a population age 65+ • Median age: the age that divides a
population into numerically equal parts• Number of years that it takes for the
percent persons age 65+ in a population to rise from 7 to 14 percent

Illustrating Population AgingThere are several ways to graphically illustrate the aging of a population. One of the most common is the population pyramid.
Number (millions)
![Page 9: JCEP workshop creating aging friendly communities barber jensen knudsen updated april 1 2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55850937d8b42ab60a8b4660/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Changing Shape of Population Pyramids
The “shape” of a population pyramid is determined by a combination of several factors. One is birth rate. What are some other factors?
![Page 10: JCEP workshop creating aging friendly communities barber jensen knudsen updated april 1 2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55850937d8b42ab60a8b4660/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Four Perspectives of Population Aging
![Page 11: JCEP workshop creating aging friendly communities barber jensen knudsen updated april 1 2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55850937d8b42ab60a8b4660/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Population Aging: A Global Perspective
![Page 12: JCEP workshop creating aging friendly communities barber jensen knudsen updated april 1 2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55850937d8b42ab60a8b4660/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Within the next 10 years, for the first time in human history….
![Page 13: JCEP workshop creating aging friendly communities barber jensen knudsen updated april 1 2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55850937d8b42ab60a8b4660/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
…the percentage (and number) of persons age 65+ in the world will be greater than those age 5 and younger!
![Page 15: JCEP workshop creating aging friendly communities barber jensen knudsen updated april 1 2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55850937d8b42ab60a8b4660/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
What is Meant by the Term: “Global Aging”?
• For most of human history, until about a century ago, the elderly (people aged 65 and over) never amounted to more than 2 or 3% of the population.
• Today, this figure is about 15%. By the year 2030, older persons will be around 25%...1 in every 4 people! Note: With 13% age 65+, the U.S. ranks 41st out of 224.
![Page 16: JCEP workshop creating aging friendly communities barber jensen knudsen updated april 1 2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55850937d8b42ab60a8b4660/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Population Aging in “Developed” Countries
• By the year 2030, the median age of the entire developed world is projected to be 45.
• In Japan and much of southern and eastern Europe, it will be over 50.
![Page 17: JCEP workshop creating aging friendly communities barber jensen knudsen updated april 1 2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55850937d8b42ab60a8b4660/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Population Aging in “Developing” Countries
• As a whole, the developing world will remain much younger (than developed countries) for the foreseeable future.
• Yet developing countries, too, are aging—hence the term "global aging.”

From 1900 through 2003, life expectancy at birth increased from 48 to 75 years for men (a gain of 27 years) and from 51 to 80 years for women (a gain of 30 years).
Increase in Life Expectancy: 1900-2003

Population pyramids illustrate changing age structure for a given geographical area, and are one way to visualize and better understand the effect that the “Baby Boom” (“Aging Boom”) generation will have on the aging population in the United States – See ‘red bars’ in the population pyramids to the right --->
![Page 24: JCEP workshop creating aging friendly communities barber jensen knudsen updated april 1 2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55850937d8b42ab60a8b4660/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Aging of the Baby Boomers…• When the baby boomers (aka “aging” boomers) start turning 65 in January 2011, approximately 10,000
people will turn 65 every day— and this trend will continue for 20 years!
• By 2030, one out of every five Americans—some 72 million people—will be 65 years or older.
• By 2050, the 65+ population is projected to be between 80 and 90 million, with those 85 and older close to 21 million.

Preparing for the “Age Wave”To ensure that older Americans don’t just add years to their lives, but that quality is added to those years, it will require PLANNING on behalf of individuals, families, and communities.
At the national, state, county and community level, an important step in the planning process is to examine the impacts of an aging population.

Impacts of the Aging Population on Your Community
• Families/Family Caregiving• Housing• Transportation• Health Services• Land Use Planning• Public Safety• Parks and Recreation• Workforce Development and Education• Volunteerism and Civic Engagement• Arts and Cultural Activities• Economic Development
SMALL GROUP ACTIVITY: Select one of the first three areas bulleted to the left + one additional area of your choosing. For each area, (1) list several community impacts as a result of population aging, and (2) brainstorm what might be done to make the community more aging-friendly.

• What are the key attributes or characteristics of aging-friendly communities; that is, when can you tell whether a community offers a supportive environment for persons of all ages, including those who are elderly?
• How can a community measure the extent to which it is aging-friendly?

Planning and Designing Livable Communities for Older Adults…and For
Persons of All Ages• The communities in which most of us live are
not optimal in terms of being good places to grow up AND GROW OLD.
• Efforts to design aging-friendly communities are in their infancy. Fewer than one-half of America’s cities, towns, and villages have begun to address the needs of an aging population.
![Page 61: JCEP workshop creating aging friendly communities barber jensen knudsen updated april 1 2010](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55850937d8b42ab60a8b4660/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
??Questions We All Need to Ask ??
• Is your community a good place to grow up and grow old?
• Will your community meet your needs when you are 65, 75, 85, 95…or even 105?
• If not, what can you do now to begin to make your community a friendly and supportive environment for persons of all ages?
