title: [The rapid aging of the Italian population].
abstract: "After comparing demographic aging in Italy and in some other countries, the authors present some results at the municipal, provincial, regional and macro-regional level, for the 1953-1988 period, with projections until 2018.  Spatial disparities are impressive:  in 1988, in some regions the 60 and over age group already represented 40% of the population and was four times more numerous than the population less than 15 years old."
