The Challenges Associated With Ageing In The Context Of Demographic Changes In Algeria

Abstract

This study aims to focus on the social and economic impacts of the increasing elderly population and how it affects society as a whole. It highlights the importance of providing adequate and specialized healthcare for older persons, and the need to create an environment that promotes their active role and participation in society. Algeria, like other modern societies, is undergoing significant demographic changes, transitioning from a period of rapid population growth to a demographic transition phase. These changes include an increase in life expectancy and a decline in mortality rates, leading to a higher proportion of elderly individuals in the population. This predicts new challenges that raise numerous questions about how to adapt to this changing reality. The challenges of ageing in Algeria are not limited to a specific segment of the population but rather represent a societal issue that requires a cohesive and collaborative approach. The elderly are an integral part of our social identity, and the success of Algerian society in adapting to these demographic transitions will be a key indicator of its progress toward a sustainable and thriving future.
