Sweden best country to grow old: UN, Oct 03, 2013

Sweden is the best place to grow old, according to a UN-backed study.
 "Sweden is the best place to grow old and Afghanistan the worst, according to a UN-backed study on Tuesday that warns many countries are ill-prepared to deal with the old age time bomb. In a rapidly greying world, the Global AgeWatch Index -- the first of its kind -- found that Sweden, known for its generous welfare state, followed by Norway and Germany were best equipped to deal with the challenges of an ageing population. How countries care for their senior citizens will become increasingly important as the number of people over the age of 60 is set to soar from some 809 million today to more than two billion by 2050 -- when they will account for more than one in five people on the planet, the report said."Alexander Language Schools, Franchise Alexander Language Schools info@als-alexander.org or interalex1@yahoo.com Products and Services
