Abstract:
The phenomenon of population aging has become internationally and regionally a current one and
which is of great importance because it concerns the evolution of the population throughout the world over an
important period. As a result of some research, studies and analyses, it has been revealed that the world's
population is facing an aging process that is to take place over a long period of time.
The evolution of the share of the elderly population will show a long-term upward trend especially in
countries where the birth rate is higher than the replacement rate. It is important to note that the ageing
phenomenon we are experiencing can be analyzed from the perspective of the population included in the three
main categories or groups of the population, namely the young, adult and elderly population.
A new concept has therefore been developed to ensure intergenerational convergence, namely active
ageing, which implies that solidarity between generations must be seen as a result of active ageing, which is an
essential opportunity for maintaining solidarity between generations.
