One third of Iran’s society will become elderly

Despite the fact that many meetings have been held by the country’s population headquarters and while warnings have been given for years about the country’s aging crisis, the issue of the downward trend of the country’s population continues.

The issue of population has several variables and to think that the issue is only related to economy or culture is a simplistic thinking. 47 factors affect the population. The most important of them are a group of variables in the field of culture and economy. What is instilled in us from the eyes of the people is all about economic issues.

Currently, 12.2% of the country’s population is over 60 and elderly, but in the next two decades, this number will reach 30%, and in other words, one third of Iran’s society will become elderly.
Population warnings have been raised by experts for years, and if not taken seriously, it will turn into a comprehensive economic-social crisis.
