摘要

The global population is ageing at an increasingnrate as a result of decades-long declines in fertilitynrates in many parts of the world, includingnand especially the countries of the GlobalnSouth. Important aspects of this demographicnphenomenon vary considerably between andnwithin places, regions, and nations, and much ofnthis spatial variability is a function of migrationnpatterns operating across entire populations. Thenunderlying causes of spatially uneven populationnageing are complex, and the impacts now, and intonthe future, are considered to be substantial. Such isnthe scenario set out in Geographies of Ageing, publishednin 2011 as part of Ashgate’s InternationalnPopulation Series.
