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  |

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. |
