The United Nations forecasts that South Africa will be home to an ageing population as early as 2030. By around 2060, it will be home to an aged population, with seniors accounting for 14% of the population. SAIIA’s Consultant Senior Researcher Lauren Johnston was in conversation with Power FM’s Denzil Taylor to discuss South Africa’s current population profile.
