Glasgow's aging population is a significant demographic trend, with a notable increase in the number of older residents. As of 2024, the population of Glasgow City was approximately 650,300, with a significant portion of the population aged 65 and over. This shift is part of a broader trend in Scotland, where the population is aging, with more than a million people aged 65 and over. The city's population has seen a decline in the number of children, with the working-age population (aged 16-64) increasing, while the proportion of older people has risen. This demographic change is expected to impact various aspects of life in Glasgow, including healthcare and social services.
