Roberto Castillo: el INEC determinó que el Ecuador empezará a envejecer
Ecuador is experiencing a demographic shift characterized by lower population projections, increased mortality rates, and net migration. This has led to an aging society with fewer children and a shrinking future workforce, posing significant challenges to the sustainability of social security. This trend stems from individual choices driven by economic pressures and professional aspirations, alongside rising divorce rates and smaller household sizes. These factors reduce the number of contributors needed to support a growing elderly population. This article highlights the critical role of open data in tracking societal changes. By making demographic statistics accessible, governments and researchers can better analyze these shifts and develop policies to address the long-term economic and social implications of an aging population.
