Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) is a young region, where people over 60 years of age represent - on average - 11% of the total population. However, it is expected to experience the highest rate of population aging in the world in the coming decades.
The aging of LAC will bring great challenges for the region, and at the same time great opportunities for economic development derived from a more productive longevity.
