Populations with a high expectation of life & low fertility rates tend to have age distributions characterized by intensive ageing. In studies on the consequences of ageing usually it is assumed that the older age groups are a conservative & inert factor in SE development. This may be a categorical & one-sided view of this phenomenon. Observing the principal trends shown by the changing age structure of the population in the Ukrainian SSR, & analyzing factors determining these trends may indicate a number of approaches to the interpretation of the process of population ageing as an "objective reality." In this area of the USSR, as well as in the country as a whole, population ageing is the most apparent feature of current population distribution trends. In 1970, 14% of the population was aged 60 years or more. One of the principal causes of a rise in the age of the population is established as a fall in the birth rate. Trends in production as well as changes in consumption influence the birth rate. Another factor contributing to the ageing of the population is the fall in death rate. Indeed, there is still much more which can be done to prolong life. So, population ageing is a result of trends in demographic processes which depend on SE progress. Future successes in gerontology & geriatrics will postpone the onset of old age, & will have a rejuvenating effect on the population. In industrial countries, the main distinguishing feature of the new pattern of population replacement is its greater intensity, meaning an increase in the proportion of higher age groups & a greater investment in human resources. Socialism provides foundations for "harmonious demographic development" & scientifically valid population policies. R. Lent.

"This volume provides evidence from many of Australia's leading scholars from a range of social science disciplines to support policies that address challenges presented by Australia's ageing population. It builds on presentations made to the 2014 Symposium of the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia. The material is in four parts: Perspectives on Ageing; Population Ageing: Global, regional and Australian perspectives; Improving Health and Wellbeing; Responses by Government and Families/Individuals. 'The Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia sees this volume as a major contribution to improving our understanding of Australia's population ageing. Social science research in this area truly underpins our ability as a nation to manage such demographic change, and its consequences for the economy and society. Such knowledge helps ensure that our citizens can live even better lives.'

Modern society is characterised by clear and distinct demographic processes,
such as the constant decline in the number of children born and the ageing
population in developed countries, resulting from complex biological,
economic, social, political, and other factors. Demographic changes observed
through population ageing have an impact on the economy and inflation.
Therefore, the aim of this paper is to examine the impact of population
ageing on inflation in Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) countries. The
paper?s authors used data from 1970 to 2016. The ARDL approach was used to
test the long- and short-term relationship between population ageing and
inflation. The results showed a positive relationship between population
ageing and inflation in the long term and a negative relationship in the
short term. The ageing population decreases inflation in the short term and
increases inflation in the long term.
