Altersaufbau der Bevölkerung in Deutschland 2060: Ergebnisse der 14. koordinierten Bevölkerungsvorausberechnung 1910 100 Alter in Jahren
A FEW FIGURES TO GET YOU STARTED The number of elderly people in the population is increasing considerably. While in 2018 every fifth German citizen was older than 65, it is expected to be every third person in 2060. We humans are getting older and the birth rate in the western world is at a low level. In 2019, approximately 818,000 people in Germany were cared for in 15,400 nursing homes, and the trend is rising. Approximately 70 % of the resi- dents suffer from dementia. This demographic change is of great social significance. It is changing the way we live together more and more. State funding programmes in the field of old age and care policy support projects to create better structures in this regard, to promote knowledge, to improve counselling and to encourage participation in the life of the older generations. These figures show that the need for care facilities will continue to increase in the future. We need places where the needs of seniors in need of care are addressed to improve their quality of life. Places where they feel comfortable and remain part of the society. Places where they find their way around and can spend their twilight years in a relaxed manner.
