Written by leading thinkers in the field, this text provides an
in-depth analysis of the economic and policy issues associated with
the aging of individuals and populations. With a strong policy
focus based on demographic and economic study, this book focuses on
"who gets what" from current and proposed government programs that
impact on older persons, and how these affect individual behaviour.
It does so in a straightforward manner that is accessible to
readers with a range of mathematical backgrounds. The discussion
concentrates on:
the effects of aging populations on the United States and other
nations;
the economic wellbeing of the elderly, highlighting women and
minorities;
public and private programs providing income for the elderly;
Medicare, Medicaid, and private health insurance;
Social Security and Medicare reform options;
employer-based retirement programs and pensions;
retirement patterns and factors influencing retirement
decisions.
The authors draw from the experiences of other countries in
evaluating the US experience and options. Additionally, each
chapter engages the reader through practical examples and
stimulates further investigation by providing practice questions
with relevant website addresses.
