کنکور سال 88 رشته تجربی

In all societies, a section of the population is labeled as “old”. What is different from place to place is the age at which people are considered old, and the way old people are regarded. In modern industrialized societies, old age begins at 65 or 70; in contrast, in the 19th century old age began at 55. in many poor counties, where people’s life expectations are much lower, someone as young as 40 may be an old person.

In some societies elderly people are thought of as wise and experienced, and they may even be the leaders of the community. But in Western societies, the elderly are sometimes disregarded. Having reached a certain age, somewhere between 60 and 70, they may be expected to retire from their jobs, even if they are still able to work efficiently. Gradually their ties with community are released, and in many cases they live in communities made up entirely of old people.

The rapid ageing of the populations of the industrialized countries is due not only to people living longer, but also to a sharp decline from the 1970s onwards in the number of babies being born. Women tend to live longer than men, so that in 1985 for every 100 women over the age of 70, there were only 63 men. It s also true that the better-off members of the society can expect to live longer than poorer, since they are generally better fed and have superior medical care.
