In Italy, for example, the graying of the population is a little more extreme than the rest of Europe, with the over-65's expected to make up 40% of the population by 2050.

Re: Italy (none / 0)

So one of your examples about aging is a shift within Europe, another the not at all representative country with the second lowest birthrate... To boot, you link to a second-rate source that doesn't even give sources, instead of checking data yourself -- that 40% appears to be the percentage of those older than 65 in the population of those older than 21, while the older than 65 are preojected at 32.4% of the total population.
