This report examines global public opinion on the challenges posed by aging populations for countries and for respondents personally. The Pew Research Center surveys were conducted in 21 countries from March 3 to April 21, 2013, and totaled 22,425 respondents. The report also analyzes trends in the aging of the global population, the U.S. population, and the populations in 22 other selected countries. Though Canada is not included in the study, the results are still interesting considerations when planning for a our own aging population.
