Abstract (English): Latin American population is currently immersed in an accelerated process of ageing, consequence of its demographic transition in which both natality and mortality rates are decreasing. It is estimated that around a 20% of the population will be older than 60 in twenty years, when starting point in 1950 was a 6% (Chackiel, 2000; Huenchuan, 2013a; UNFPA, 2017). Despite this process is not homogeneous among countries, trend towards ageing is significant, as well as its different rate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish): La población latinoamericana (ALCA) está inmersa, actualmente, en un proceso acelerado de envejecimiento, como consecuencia de su transición demográfica, en la que se está reduciendo la fecundidad y disminuyendo la mortalidad. Las previsiones demográficas estiman alcanzar un 20% de población mayor de 60 años dentro de 20 años, habiendo partido desde niveles cercanos al 6% en 1950 (Chackiel, 2000; Huenchuan, 2013a; UNFPA, 2017). Aunque este proceso no es homogéneo entre los países, la tendencia hacia el envejecimiento es apreciable, como también su distinto ritmo. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
