23. What is the trend concerning life expectancy? What is happening to families in Europe?

The trend concerning life expectancy is that life expectancy around the world increased dramatically in the last 60^th years, and many scientists believe that this trend is likely to continue in the future. If the current older people populations in many countries become healthier, wealthier and live longer, the trend will have important consequences for people and governments. The cost of medical care for older people will rise, and governments will have to start thinking hard about how to fund state pensions for older citizens. Some people will want to keep on working later in their life, which could lead to changes in the age of retirement in many countries. Others would prefer to retire early to enjoy having more time for them selves. Finally, the effect on the world population will be great. Europe’s population has ben in decline for several years now as people prefer to have fewer children and families tend to be smaller.
