An elderly man stands in Copacabana in Rio de Janeiro September 13, 2011. World Bank data show the growth rate of Brazil's older population as many times that of the most developed countries in Europe, projected to equal 14% of the population by 2033, while Copacabana has the largest number of retirees of any neighborhood in the country.
