AECOM Impact Blog: Planning for Aging Populations

According to the United Nations' Population Division, globally, the number of people age 60 or older is expected to more than double from 841 million people in 2013 to more than 2 billion in 2050. More health care capacity is required to cater to this increase in demand, not only in terms of the acute medical needs that increase with age, but also in regard to long-term social care.

Read Paul Donlan's perspective on how to address future health care demand caused by an increasingly aging population.

Drawing from the experience of its approximately 45,000 employees, the AECOM Impact Blog provides the firm with an opportunity to share stories about employee excellence, industry insights, innovative project solutions, corporate social responsibility experiences, safety for life and sustainable perspectives. We hope you’ll join the conversation.
