This report addresses these concerns in the unique context of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union where many countries are aging rapidly without the economic resources and institutional capacity of other aging societies in Western Europe and Japan.Older peopleEurope, EasternEconomic conditionsOlder peopleSoviet UnionEconomic conditionsPopulation forecastingEurope, EasternPopulation forecastingSoviet UnionElectronic books.Older peopleEconomic conditions.Older peopleEconomic conditions.Population forecastingPopulation forecasting304.6/20947Chawla Mukesh898490Betcherman Gordon937074Banerji Arup858993MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451663703321From red to gray2159836UNINA
