Aging In Other Times At Other Places 

The proportion of older people in developed as well as developing nations of the world has been increasing. An aging population creates new economic and social challenges for nations. 

Using the South University Online Library or the Internet, research about the economic or social challenges of nations with an aging population. Based on your research and understanding, compare and contrast seniors in the U.S. with seniors in another country of your choice. Your comparison should include, but should not be limited to, the following: 

• Changes in demographics
  
  
• Family roles and social supports
  
  
• Advances in technology
  
  
• Living arrangement
  
  
• Retirement
  
  
• Health issues

To support your work, use your course and text readings and also use outside sources. As in all assignments, cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format.
