Description

This paper proposes the partly new created definition of aging society. The present definition of it has three criteria, aging society, aged society and super aged society, depending on percentage of elderly in the total population. This basic concept of aging society, which was invented by United Nations, has been used for the last half century. However the aging progress, especially in advanced countries and emerging economies, is supposed to be faster, wider and deeper. This global demographic trend suggests us to improve the current definition of aging society. Therefore this paper insists to add three new criteria of aging society to the current definition. These three are the concepts of the later stages of aging society. They could be called "latter aging society", "latter aged society" and "latter super aged society"
