More than half of the growth will come from only nine countries. The population of 47 of the world's least developed countries is also expected to at least double in size. As a leading provider of safe-yet-smart city initiatives, NEC offers a wide portfolio of solutions which allow governments to use new technologies to create 'Safer Cities'. Social and urban transformation In the developed world, the population of 55 nations is expected to decrease by one percent or more due to low birth rates and emigration. 2018 marked the first time in history when people over the age of 65 outnumbered people five years or younger. By 2050, the number of people aged 65 or older is expected to outnumber those aged between 15 and 24 for the first time. Massive demographic shifts can cause tremendous strain on governments, both in emerging markets grappling with population growth and urbanization, and in developed countries suffering population decline and rapidly aging populations.
