Enabling environments and ageing in Latin America and the Caribbean

The demographic picture in the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean has altered profoundly in recent decades because of rapidly declining fertility and rising life expectancy. These changes have been a critical factor in shaping new living arrangements, with the result that there are now a host of new types of households and family arrangements (Arriagada, 2007).1 Families extending over three or even four generations have become common and although there are also older persons who live alone, this is less likely to be the case in Latin America and the Caribbean than in other regions of the world.
