Where should we grow old—and why does it matter more than ever?
Why This Series Exist?
The global population age 60 and above is projected to reach 2.1 billion by 2050 (United Nations, 2023). And yet -- policies to support aging populations vary wildly by country. Some nations have comprehensive long-term care and retirement systems; others have no clear policy at all.
This series was created to examine the hard facts, not assumptions - so that:
- Seniors can make informed decisions about where and how to retire.
- Families can better support aging loved-ones.
- Policymakers and investors can benchmark best practices.
- Care advocates and migration planners can prepare for the inevitable shift.
We do not favor any region. We do not speculate.
We follow the data, date, funding, and implementation behind each national aging policy---and we measure it against real-world impact.
What You'll Learn in This Series?
For each country or region, we will examine;
- When formal aging policies began
- What protection exist (retirement income, healthcare, caregiver support)
- Which policies are working -- and why
- What needs urgent reform or overhaul
- Opportunities for retirees and challenges they should prepare for
- Whether migration is a realistic, cost effective option
--------------------------------------------------------------------
We'll also report on countries that lack national aging frameworks, and what the UN Decades of Healthy Ageing and WHO are doing to fill the global policy gaps.
Each article will include clear citations, current data, and accessibility factors such as cost of living, caregiver support, and elder rights protection.
⚖ No Gray Area. No Bias. Just Reality.
This is not a promotional piece for migration.
It is a global diagnostic tool --- for a generation that sacrificed everything to build this world and now deserves to choose where to age with dignity, protection, and purpose.
