Population ageing will significantly impact society in several ways. It will affect populations, economies, and health systems. Some areas will become overcrowded and urban areas will become more polluted. This will increase the need for clean water and improved sanitation. Pension costs and healthcare costs will rise as people live longer. Economies will struggle to fund retirement and healthcare for larger elderly populations. More people will suffer from chronic age-related illnesses, increasing healthcare demands. Addressing these challenges will require cooperation between governments, economists, and scientists to develop long-term solutions.

Migrating Diseases
Our second ‘World in 2030’ foresight focuses on the growing threat from migrating diseases that are being enabled by the escalating implications of global warming.
The fast-developing view is that with 2oC of global warming probable and 4oC possible, health systems will struggle to address the growing impact of climate change. The increased spread of vector-borne diseases is joining poor air quality as a major public health threat.
More anticipate an extension of the reach and duration of tropical disease alongside the re-emergence of old infections. Certainly, warmer conditions and changes in precipitation are facilitating the expansion of disease-carrying vectors, such as mosquitoes and ticks. Dengue fever has joined malaria and Lyme’s on the list of fast-spreading diseases that are, most significantly, entering countries with little or no prior experience of them. To stem the tide, improved surveillance, enhanced HCP education and better public understanding are all being called for.
This foresight is one of 50 looking at the key issues for the next decade that are being shared throughout 2020.

The Future of Digital Medicine in the Aging SocietyDavid Wortley
Global Health and sustainable improvements in the
well‑being of humans are seriously threatened by two
societal phenomena.
The aging society
Across the globe, falling birth rates and increased life
expectancies have led to significant increases in the
percentage of citizens aged over 65 years compared
to the younger working population. The increased
life expectancies have, at least in part, been a result of
improvements in health care, and the diagnosis and
treatment of diseases and medical conditions that have
traditionally caused premature death.
Impact of lifestyle and medical advances on
causes of death
Medical advances have all but eradicated many of the traditional
causes of death from communicable diseases with a
consequent growth in morbidity resulting from lifestyle
choices and behaviors.
The issue with lifestyle‑related conditions is the behaviors
such as sedentary lifestyles and poor diets adopted early
in life have a major and cumulative effect in later life
resulting in diabetes and cardiovascular problems which
require often expensive interventions and high levels of
cost to public health services.
The role of digital technologies in medicine,
health, and well‑being
Digital technologies have undoubtedly had a major
impact on medicine both in diagnostics and treatment.
Modern digital scanning, artificial intelligence, big
data analytics, human‑computer interfaces, robotics,
and 3D visualization technologies have all helped to
not only increase our understanding of the physiology
of the human body and enabled early detection of
medical conditions but also they have contributed
to increasingly more targeted and personalized
interventions.
However, set against these positive benefits of digital
medicine and health technologies is the impact of
technologies which reduce the daily physical and cognitive
challenges that have throughout history constantly
exercised our bodies and minds and in the process, given
us the active lifestyles needed to maintain health and
well‑being...........

Keeping the lights on, the water running, and the landlord at bay could turn out to be good ways to control Covid-19 infection, a new NBER (National Bureau of Economic Research) analysis suggests, based on the idea that social distancing is easier for people who can stay home. When utility shutoffs and evictions were halted, Covid-19 cases in certain counties across the country fell by 8% from March through November 2020, the report says. The study can't prove cause and effect, but the authors venture that if such measures had been implemented nationwide, eviction moratoria would have resulted in a 14% decrease in Covid-19 cases and up to a 40% decrease in deaths. Utility shutoff moratoria would have cut infections by 9% and deaths by 15%, the study estimates.

Building on ILC-UK’s extensive work on older consumers and on retirement income, this major research report assesses the differences between theory or popular belief about retirement and the reality of it.
The report considers how spending varies during old age and challenges pre-existing stereotypes about retired life which can be misleading and may contribute to poor planning or unrealistic expectations. This report, which incorporates new quantitative analysis and the feedback from 3 expert focus groups, will explore the role for policymakers and industry in helping us retire well.

Preface
The world is facing a situation without precedent: We soon will have more older people than
children and more people at extreme old age than ever before. As both the proportion of older
people and the length of life increase throughout the world, key questions arise. Will population
aging be accompanied by a longer period of good health, a sustained sense of well-being, and
extended periods of social engagement and productivity, or will it be associated with more illness,
disability, and dependency? How will aging affect health care and social costs? Are these futures
inevitable, or can we act to establish a physical and social infrastructure that might foster better
health and wellbeing in older age? How will population aging play out differently for low-income
countries that will age faster than their counterparts have, but before they become industrialized
and wealthy?
This brief report attempts to address some of these questions. Above all, it emphasizes the central
role that health will play moving forward. A better understanding of the changing relationship
between health with age is crucial if we are to create a future that takes full advantage of the
powerful resource inherent in older populations. To do so, nations must develop appropriate
data systems and research capacity to monitor and understand these patterns and relationships,

well-being. And research needs to be better coordinated if we are to discover the most cost-effective
ways to maintain healthful life styles and everyday functioning in countries at different stages of
economic development and with varying resources. Global efforts are required to understand and

existing knowledge about the prevention and treatment of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and
cancer.
Managing population aging also requires building needed infrastructure and institutions as soon as
possible. The longer we delay, the more costly and less effective the solutions are likely to be.
Population aging is a powerful and transforming demographic force. We are only just beginning
to comprehend its impact ...

1. The positive effects of social media on
society
1. Planning:
a. Brainstorming:
- News,
- More pollution,
- Less training opportunities,
- Health care costs increase,
- More pensioners,
- Special challenges for less developed nations,
- Increasing need for specialized health care workers,
- Increasing need for long-term care,
- Pension schemes will be affected,
- A rise in age-related chronic illnesses.
2. b. Outlining
Thesis statement: The effects of increased longevity on our society would
adversely affect the population, economy, and health.
I. Population
1. Some areas of the world would become more
overcrowded.
2. More polluted urban slums, creating an urgent need for
clean water.
II. Economy
1. Pensions and retirement income need to cover a longer
period of time.
2. Less training opportunities because of people that would
work longer than usual.
III. Health
1. Health care costs would increase.
2. A rise in age-related chronic illnesses.
Conclusion:
I think it is a very complicated problem, and it is difficult to find a solution to
this problem in the short term. Nevertheless, I believe that people are going
to find the solution to this problem if the government, economist and
scientists help to find it.
3. c. Collecting information:
- Some areas of the world would become more overcrowded,
while others will stay about the same. Most of the population
increase would take place in less developed countries and
would be concentrated among the poorest people living in
cities.
(Regina Boyle Wheeler who is a journalist that specializes in
health, parenting, and lifestyle content) (I. 1)
- This problem would produce more polluted urban slums,
creating an urgent need for clean water and
improvements in sanitation. (Regina B. Wheeler). (I.2)
- Heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and other chronic
diseases would cause more death and illness worldwide
than infectious or parasitic diseases because the number
of people who suffers those illnesses are going to
increase. (Lindsey Marcellin who is an internal medicine
specialist with extensive clinical experience in multiple
practice settings) (III.2)
4. - As older people stop working and their health care
needs increase, governments could be overwhelmed by
unprecedented costs. How to pay for the upcoming elder
boom would be a subject being debated in capitals
around the world. (According to an OECD report) (III.1)
- This problem would affect pension schemes in two
ways: pensioners will be more numerous and they
would claim benefits over a much longer period
than at present. One of the biggest challenges will
be to guarantee adequate income for old people
without creating an unbearable load for the younger
age groups. (Adriana Scardino who is an economist)
(II.1)
- Ageing has a direct impact on the labour market, since
improvements in life expectancy affect individual
behaviour in deciding to remain in work longer. (Adriana
Scardino) (II.2)
5. 2. Writing:
Population ageing, which is a process that increases the proportion of old people
within the total population, is one of the main problems of this century. It affects or
will affect both developed and developing countries.The effects of increased
longevity on our society would adversely affect the population, economy, and health.
Population would be affected because some areas of the world would become more
overcrowded and there would be more polluted urban slums, creating an urgent
need for clean water. Regina Boyle Wheeler who is a journalist said that some
areas of the world would become more overcrowded, while others will stay about the
same. Most of the population increase would take place in less developed countries
and would be concentrated among the poorest people living in cities. Futhermore,
This problem would produce more polluted urban slums, creating an urgent need for
clean water and improvements in sanitation. Pollution has been one of the most
critical problems in the world for many years and that is why the need has arisen
awareness of finding alternatives for possible solutions.
There would be some economical effects as pensions and retirement income need
to cover a longer period of time and less training opportunities because of people
that would work longer than usual. According to Adriana Scardino who is an
economist, this problem would affect pension schemes in two ways: pensioners will
be more numerous and they would claim benefits over a much longer period than at
present. One of the biggest challenges will be to guarantee adequate income for old
people without creating an unbearable load for the younger age groups. Besides,
Ageing has a direct impact on the labour market, since improvements in life
expectancy affect individual behavior in deciding to remain in work longer.
6. Health also is going to be affected because health care costs would
increase and there will be a rise in age-related chronic illnesses.
Lindsey Marcellin who is an internal medicine specialist said that as
older people stop working and their health care needs increase,
governments could be overwhelmed by unprecedented costs. How to
pay for the upcoming elder boom would be a subject being debated in
capitals around the world. Moreover, heart disease, cancer, diabetes,
and other chronic diseases would cause more death and illness
worldwide than infectious or parasitic diseases because the number of
people who suffers those illnesses are going to increase.
I think it is a very complicated problem, and it is difficult to find a
solution to this problem in the short term. Nevertheless, I believe that
people are going to find the solution to this problem if the government,
economist and scientists help to find it.
