hi everyone:

I am trying to seek a correct expression of the tendency of growing proportion of old-population. I mean that the average age of population in society is increasing.

thanks in advance Smile Smile

Hi Zach,

People say "the population is aging" or "society is aging." I'm sure that there are other good ways to say it, too.

Hope that helps.
