Projection on Elderly Population in Bangladesh. Hossain, M., M. Jahangirnagar University Journal of Science, 39(1):1-9, 2016. ![Projection on Elderly Population in Bangladesh [pdf]](https://bibbase.org/img/filetypes/pdf.svg "pdf")
Paper abstract bibtex In Bangladesh, persons aged 60 or above are considered to be elderly. There is no universally accepted definition of the elderly but, in most gerontological literature, people above 60 years of age are considered as 'old' and taken to be the 'elderly' segment of the population of a country. However, in the 20th century, the massive reduction in infant and childhood deaths due to infectious diseases is the primary driver of increased average life expectancy in the developing countries. The numerical growth of elderly persons is an eloquent testimony not only of reductions in fertility but also of reduction in infant and maternal mortality, improved nutrition, reduction in infectious and parasitic diseases, as well as improvement in healthcare, education and income. In Bangladesh, many older people spend their lives in poverty and ill health is the major risk for the elderly population. In view of the size of the population, scarcity of resources, existing poverty, insufficient health facilities and absence of social security, ageing is going to be a major problem in Bangladesh. Thus, there is an urgent need to know the future size of the elderly population in Bangladesh. Therefore, in view of the ever-increasing importance to elderly, this paper attempts to make projection on elderly population in Bangladesh. The family support to elderly people declined. From the population pyramid it is observed that there is rapid increase of population aged 65 years or more. Therefore, we may conclude that there will be fewer persons to look after the elderly population in future. This indicates that we must have more hospitals, demand for more family care in future. Thus, Government needs to consider how older can afford health care facility they need. The public and/or private sections may provide it. Introduction The term "projection" indicates that future population trends are unknown and that the figures quoted for future years are meant as indications of what the future population would be if certain likely rates of mortality, fertility and migration were to apply. Because of the uncertainty about future rates it is usual to prepare several projections on the basis of different sets of rates. It is
