The median population age, as discussed below, is ris\u00ading rapidly relative to other nations, in\u00adcluding those of Europe and North\u00a0 America. Among developing countries, Barbados now has one of the highest pro\u00adportions of older persons, with 17 percent of the population aged 55 and over and nearly 11 percent having reached or sur\u00adpassed age 65. Both figures are consider\u00adably above the Caribbean average (table 1), and are due in part to a steep decline in fertility since 1970, which has lowered the proportion of population in younger age groups. At the same time, however, the\u00a0 number of persons aged 55 and over is declining slightly, and will remain es\u00adsentially unchanged in the early 1990&#8217;s. This reflects, to some extent, the aging of cohorts that have been deci\u00admated by past emigration. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.census.gov\/library\/publications\/1989\/demo\/aging-bb.html\">Source\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>@import url(https:\/\/visioncare.aps.10web.site\/wp-content\/plugins\/siteorigin-panels\/css\/front-legacy.css); #pgc-411-0-0 { width:100% } #pg-411-0 , #pl-411 .so-panel { margin-bottom:35px } #pg-411-0 { margin-left:-15px;margin-right:-15px } #pg-411-0 &gt; .panel-grid-cell , #pg-411-0 &gt; .panel-row-style &gt; .panel-grid-cell { padding-left:15px;padding-right:15px } #pl-411 .so-panel:last-child { margin-bottom:0px } @media (max-width:780px){ #pl-411 .panel-grid-cell { float:none;width:auto } #pl-411 .panel-grid { margin-left:0;margin-right:0 } #pl-411 .panel-grid-cell { padding:0 } #pl-411 .panel-grid .panel-grid-cell-empty { display:none } #pl-411 .panel-grid .panel-grid-cell-mobile-last , #pg-411-0 &gt; .panel-grid-cell , #pg-411-0 &gt; .panel-row-style &gt; .panel-grid-cell:last-child { margin-bottom:0px } #pg-411-0 &gt; .panel-grid-cell , #pg-411-0 &gt; .panel-row-style &gt; .panel-grid-cell { margin-bottom:35px }  } <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The aging of Barbadian population is un\u00adusual in several respects.
