Population growth slowed across the world in the last decades of
the 20th century, changing substantially our view of the future.
The 21st century is likely to see the end to world population
growth and become the century of population aging, marked by low
fertility and ever-increasing life expectancy. These trends have
prompted many to predict a gloomy future caused by an unprecedented
economic burden of population aging. In response, industrialized
nations will need to implement effective social and economic
policies and programs.
This is the final volume in a series of three. The papers
included explore many examples and strengthen the basis for
effective economic and social policies by investigating the
economic, social, and demographic consequences of the
transformations in the structures of population and family. These
consequences include changes in economic behavior, both in labor
and financial markets, and with regard to saving and consumption,
and intergenerational transfers of money and care.
