The World Passport in this respect has a track record of over 60 years acceptance since it was first issued. Today over 185 countries have visaed it on a case-by-case basis. In short, the World Passport represents the one world we all live in and on.
Median age* of the population. Over the past 50 years, the median age of the world's population has increased by a mere three years, from 23.6 in 1950 to 26.4 in 2000. (The median marks the point where half the population is older than that age and half is younger). But over the next 50 years, the median age will jump to 37, according to the latest projections made by the United Nations. By 2050, 17 developed countries are expected to have a median age of 50 or more.
But almost one in five (19%) said that being middle age is a state of mind, rather than something that begins at a certain age.The research also asked the panel at what age they thought middle age ends. The average came in at 69 years and 277 days.This suggests middle age itself now spans 14 years and goes well beyond the government's planned state pension age of 66.lthough seven out of 10 early 50-somethings quizzed for the survey defined themselves as middle-aged, the average age at which the period of life was perceived to start was 54 years and 347 days old. However, a sizeable minority, nearly one in five, thought middle age did not begin until after the age of 60.
