   Abstract:
   Demography of aging is a subfield of demography that focuses on the older members of a population as well as the processes and consequences of population aging. Research in the demography of aging examines a number of topics, including the state and status of the older population, changes in the numbers, proportionate size, and composition of the older population, demographic forces of fertility, mortality, and migration that bring about these changes, and the effects of these changes on the social, economic, health, and personal well-being of the elderly. Major factors associated with population aging are reviewed. © 2008 Copyright © 2008 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
