The rapid growth in the elderly of Bangladesh population after 2040 will challenge existing health care services, family relationships on social security. Because of change in the family structure there will be implications on health care of elderly from the family and unmet need of health care services in the public sector will rapidly increase. the aim of this research is to explore how the aging situation in Bangladesh is addressing and anticipating the challenges of an aging society. A review of program activities suggests that Bangladesh preparedness for an aging population is decidedly mixed. Public policy may have an important influence on the role of family support systems in the future but it is not significant considering the absolute size of the elderly population. Current demographic trends indicate that Bangladesh will very different in the coming decades than is to day. Mortality and fertility will be lower, and life expectancy will be rising. Population growth will have slowed substantially as supported by the medium and low variants projections respectively. Strengthening human capital by ensuring empowerment education and employment of all citizens will yield a high return to investment and will help countries reap a demographic dividend that can lift millions out of poverty. Creating hope and opportunity for young people to develop their full potential can drive progress in the years to come and ultimately result in a second demographic dividend of healthy lives, wealthier and more productive older person.
