Sweden Gets Ready for the Population Senescence

The senior citizens constitute the growing part of the population in Sweden. Many of them managed to retain a good health and lead an active life. Most of the senior citizens live in their our houses. Sweden draft a larger part of the gross domestic product for the support of the elderly population than any other country. The amount of the gross domestic product drafted is more than five times bigger than the average figures of the Eurozone.

Healthcare and social support of the aging population is the important part of the home policy of Sweden. From the 9.5 million people living in this country 18 % have already pushed the age of 65 years, which is the age for the retirement. This figures are likely to grow up to 30 % to the year 2030, the reason for that is the fact that a lot of people in Sweden were born in 1940.
