#Firstpost Africa’s Ageing Population Boom Sparks Crisis in Uganda and Others | Firstpost Africa | N18G
Africa, often seen as the world’s youngest continent, is now facing a growing ageing challenge. In just 15 years, the population over 60 has increased by 50 percent, reaching about 67 million, with the WHO projecting 163 million by 2050. While people are living longer due to better healthcare, nutrition, and lower child mortality, many nations are struggling to cope. Pensions, social safety nets, and healthcare for chronic illnesses like diabetes, hypertension, and dementia are limited. Rural populations face poor access to medical care, leaving the elderly dependent on families. The ageing wave exposes urgent gaps in policy and support.
