Population aging is today a topic of great demographic interest. This process is the result of the demographic transition, understood as the path from high levels of mortality & fertility to lower levels, as well as the change in the age structure of the population. This article analyzes this process for six Latin American countries from 1970 to 2025: Bolivia, Haiti, Costa Rica, Panama, Chile, & Cuba. These countries present a population dynamic representative of the different stages of demographic transition. The aging population process stands out in more modernized countries (with higher educational levels, environment awareness, social & economic participation of women, better health services, & family planning). Because few solutions have been presented to deal with this process, the repercussions in the vulnerable population are left out of the debate. 10 Tables, 2 Graphs, 4 References.
