The Unsustainable Population Explosion 

In some parts of the world, such as Britain and other parts of Europe, populations are ageing. An elderly population has financial, emotional and practical issues for society. Pensions are one issue. Governments will have to make them more affordable, accessible and efficient so that the elderly can be supported in their old age, alternatively people can work for longer.

In other parts of the world populations are young and rapidly growing such as in China where there are over 1.3 billion people - more people than the global population in 1850s. India has over 1.15 billion people and a young population. Sub-Sahara Africa has the highest youngest population in the world. Over 44% of the population is under 15 years old.
