While the number of individuals belonging to the younger age groups declined over the period from 2018 to 2023, the age group of 60 years and older continued to increase. By the end of 2023, number of people aged 60 or older was over 1.6 million. The growing number of individuals aged 60 or older reflects the change towards an older population structure of the country.
