Life Expectancy Gains and Public Programs for the Elderly in Latin America and the Caribbean

Life expectancy in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) has increased dramatically since 1950, largely as a result of medical and public health interventions that sharply cut the death toll from the most virulent infectious diseases and enabled many more children to survive to adulthood.

Longer lives have combined with lower fertility to produce profound shifts in the age composition of country populations: As people live longer and women have fewer children older people have begun to represent a growing proportion of the total population in the region and children a shrinking share. The National Institute on Aging (NIA) supports research that examines the social and economic implications of life expectancy trends and population aging. This newsletter highlights the work of NIA-supported researchers and others that can help policymakers plan for the well-being of aging populations in LAC countries, as well as offer insights to policymakers in other low- and middle-income countries.
