Aging differed by time and place in the past (even today) All past societies had fewer older people than societies today. We cannot look at the past for help in our future. Large amount of old people today is a phenomenon. Developed nations will have the best care for old people while developing wont. Un published international plan of action on ageing calls for more improved attitudes/policies towards aging. Canada is one of the top g7 countries that will have beneficial services and programs designed for seniors (baby-boomers) Older people in good health stay alert, intelligent, and able to learn. They face stresses unique to later life, but they can get through these crises with the help of others.
