Focusing on the developing economic challenges confronting Korea
and the US in response to the aging of their populations, this
timely book examines how public policies are evolving in light of
demographic changes, the impact of aging on governmental
expenditures, and transitions in the labor force associated with
aging. International contributors comparatively analyze government
approaches to population aging, illustrating the similar challenges
faced across nations. Chapters draw attention to those particular
issues that public policy plans must surmount, including funding
pressures on retirement plans and the effects of an aging labor
force on economic growth and productivity. They offer evidence on
the scale of these challenges in Korea and the US and empirically
evaluate how governments, employers, and individuals may respond to
these issues in the years to come. Addressing fiscal sustainability
and key social security programs, including the implications of the
2015 Korean pension reform and the economic difficulties entailed
by the future of Medicare, this book investigates the implications
of managing and sustaining welfare for an aging population. This
cutting-edge book will be ideal reading for economists focusing on
public policy and welfare programs, benefiting from the comparative
approach to fiscal accountability and sustainability. It will also
appeal to practitioners and policymakers seeking insights into the
consequences of an aging population and hoping to develop
innovative methods and approaches to welfare.
