Overview

The demography of the developed countries has changed dramatically over the past century: fertility has declined, life expectancy has increased, and the proportion of the population over 65 has nearly tripled. This book considers the far-reaching economic and social consequences of these demographic changes, in the light of experience and data from the UK, Israel, Japan and the USA. This volume should interest academics and professionals concerrned with the effects of demographic changes, and it combines data with theoretical work from distinguished scholars.
