Why Do We Need Age Tech?
Our world is going through an unprecedented demographic shift. Never in human history have so many people reached old age. Simultaneously, there is a steady decline in birth rates. Which means that in some countries older adults are expected to outnumber children under the age of 18 in a few years.
Today, there are ~1 billion people over the age of 60 living on this planet. Many of them are healthy and active and have discretionary income. Since the population over the age of 60 is growing faster than any other age group, by 2050, 20% of the world’s population (~2 billion people) will be over the age of 60.
