Over the past 150 years, improvements in standards of living and advances in medical science have doubled lifespans in much of the world. Today, average life expectancy in the UK is increasing at more than five hours a day, every day. This rising life expectancy, combined with low birth rates, means that the populations of the UK and world are ageing.
