[The aging of the population in Aragon]. / El envejecimiento de la poblacion en Aragon.

ABSTRACT

PIP The author analyzes aging trends in Spain, with a focus on geographical differences. "While on a national scale, the index of ageing was 0.59 in 1986, implying that 12.18% of the Spanish population were more than 65 years old, the geographical distribution of the old in the autonomous regions, the provinces and the towns is very uneven. This inequality is even higher when ageing is studied according to the size of the nuclei of population." (EXCERPT)^ieng
