aging

aging is the accumulation of changes in a person over time. Aging in humans refers to a multidimensional process of physical, psychological, and social change. Some dimensions of ageing grow and expand over time, while others decline. Ageing is an important part of all human societies reflecting the biological changes that occur, but also reflecting cultural and societal conventions. Ageing is among the largest known risk factors for most human diseases. Roughly 100,000 people worldwide die each day of age-related causes.Age is measured chronologically, and a person's birthday is often an important event. However the term "ageing" is somewhat ambiguous. Chronological ageing may also be distinguished from "social ageing" or biological ageing".
and Population ageing is the increase in the number and proportion of older people in society. Ageing has a significant impact on society.Young people tend to commit most crimes, they are more likely to push for political and social change, to develop and adopt new technologies and to need education, the latter of which tend to lose political significance for people in the ageing process.Older people have different requirements from society and government as opposed to young people and frequently differing values as well, such as for property and pension rights. Older people are also far more likely to vote and in many countries the young are forbidden from voting. Thus, the aged have comparatively more, or at least different, political influence.

question
aging can be not good to society, so what is the problem? is only population older aging? and is only increasing population?
