Description:	It is now well known that population aging will be a major feature of human societies across the globe in the twenty-fi rst century. Over the recent decade, there has been much academic discussion on the rapid increase in population aging (Biggs & Powell, 2001 ; Pain & Hopkins, 2010 ; Powell & Owen, 2005 ; Sanderson & Scherbov, 2007 ; Tosun, 2003 ; Wacker & Roberto, 2009 ) . Population aging has caused political challenges in the economic and social activities affi liated with a growth in the elderly population. This introductory chapter outlines the key themes and issues relating to aging. The fi rst part will outline the structure of the chapters. This will lead to an overview of comparative aging in the sample countries. Following this discussion, the global impacts of aging will be outlined.
