This book investigates several important issues in the economics of
aging, including the accumulation of wealth and the relationship
between health and financial prosperity.
Examining the changes in savings behavior and investment priorities
in the United States over the past few decades, contributors to the
volume point to a dramatic shift from employer-managed, defined
benefit pensions to employee-controlled retirement savings plans.
Further, the legislative reforms of the 1980s and the booming stock
market of the 1990s did their share to influence individual wealth
accumulation patterns of Americans.
These studies also explore the relationship between health status
and economic status. Considering issues like pension income and
health, mortality, and medical care, contributors present evidence
from the United States, Britain, South Africa, and Russia. The
volume culminates with wide-ranging discussions on a number of key
topics in the field including the innovations that have contributed
to a decline in mortality rates; the various medical advances that
have benefited populations over time; and the determinants of
expenditures on health. The findings with regard to cross-sectional
differences in health outcomes and health care utilization also
pose troubling questions for policymakers seeking to democratize
health care across regions and races.
