We’re experiencing a global demographic shift. By 2030, 1 in 6 people worldwide will be 60 years or older, and by 2050, that number will double to 2.1 billion — with 80% of older adults living in low- and middle-income countries. (Source: WHO)
In 2020, for the first time, people aged 60+ outnumbered children under 5. This rapid pace of population aging means we — designers, developers, product managers — must be ready to serve a demographic with unique needs.
