Gerontology (Social aspects) Computer engineering. Computer hardware In the world today, the portion of aging people grows continuously. Due to successful of healthcare services, people are living longer and the number of newborn is decreasing. This can imply that the population of young and working people is decreasing in many countries. This leads to the mean value incrementing of the mean world population's age value in the whole world.
