Nearly all 6 ASEAN nations show either negative or close-to-zero
growth for the youngest part of their population (age years 0-14).
While the workforce age part of the population (age years 15-64) in
most nations is still slowly growing, the retirement age population (age
group 65-above) is outpacing them rapidly, with relative growth rates 3-
10 times higher than the working age population.
In SEA, 9.6% of the total population was 60 and above in 2016 but is
expected to more than double to 21.1% by 2050, driven by the
increased life expectancy of elders and reduced fertility rates of an
increasingly wealthy population.

Overweight and obesity (metabolic risk indicators) as well as smoking
(typical risk behaviors) are highly prevalent in SEA and continue to
increase.
This will translate into a high prevalence of severe non-communicable
diseases in the future.
This trend will compound the effects of the increased population age in
the ASEAN 6 nations.
