Scotland is becoming an older society with fewer young people and a sharp increase in the number of those aged 65 and over.
Scotland's population has risen to its highest recorded level, with 5,436,600 people now living in the country.
Scotland has an ageing population with more than one million over-65s and more people choosing to live alone. In 2011 the two demographics were broadly the same size, but since then the number of people aged 65 plus increased by 22.5 per cent. There has been a census in Scotland every 10 years since 1801, except 1941, but the 2021 census was delayed due to the pandemic.
