the 5.1% for the African continent as a whole (Joubert & Bradshaw, 2006).Table 1: TABLE 1: POPULATION AGEING – WORLD FIGURES Source: Population Reference Bureau (2008)It is expected that despite the demographic impact of the AIDS epidemic, the South Africanpopulation is to continue ageing over the next two decades with more than one person in tenbeing 60 years or older by 2025 [Figure 1] (Joubert & Bradshaw, 2006; Joubert, et.al., 2004;Joubert and Bradshaw, 2004). Furthermore, although the proportion of the older population willincrease moderately over the projected period, the increase in the absolute size for the timeperiod 1985 to 2025 is 112%, i.e. from 2.47 million to 5.23 million (a doubling in numbers over thecourse of 40 years). Figure 2 shows that the total number of older persons is expected toincrease more rapidly over the next two decades than over the past two decades.22 | D S D A u d i t o f R e s i d e n t i a l F a c i l i t i e s
2.4.2 Proportion of women versus menThe proportion of older persons in South Africa varies considerably between the nine provincesas a reflection of migratory patterns, the impact of chronic diseases such as AIDS and othercauses of differentials in age structure. More than six out of ten older persons in South Africa arefemales, who tend to live longer than males and are thus more likely to be widowed and to beliving alone than older males. The female proportion of older persons among the population aged85 years or over is also higher than males (Department of Social Development, 2005).The graph below indicates the proportion of men to women in all the facilities that were audited.23 | D S D A u d i t o f R e s i d e n t i a l F a c i l i t i e s
