Trivia, panic, or are we just getting old?

Did you know that our global population is ageing so fast that within 10 years, the number of people aged over 65 will outnumber all the children in the world under the age of 5?  

A useless fact no doubt – but those over 65 cost more to keep alive than those under 5, and generally neither of those age groups are working.  Although for all those 5 years old out there, given our increasing medical costs, they may find themselves back in the salt mines or cleaning chimneys.
