Hello Charity and others

One of the trends in population is a decline in fertility and increase in longevity. Fewer babies are being born and older adults are living longer. This will impact family transitions in marriage and fertility behavior through the aging of generations with different norms and histories. There are more older adults for fewer caregivers–both in the community and in the personal lives of people.

Is there any indication that this will change going forward?

I don’t see it changing very much, there will fewer adults to be

taken care of by fewer people?
