The "aging" of society
This is an increasingly common expression, one that has been of increasing concern in the area of Japanese political economy. (See the recent research of John C. Campbell.) Can be spelled "aging" (423,000 hits on Google) or, less commonly, "ageing" (105,000 hits on Google)"The aging of society is becoming an increasing preoccupation of budget planners in advanced industrialized societies." This is not a quotation from Campbell, but rather an example of how one might see this expressing used.
Used as a verb, one might find the following sort of sentence: "Japanese society is ageing more and more rapidly as birth rates have declined and life expectancy has lengthened over the past thirty years."
Reference: Experience in reading this literature in political economy (not in "aging", of course!)
