The contributors examine social security reform, including an analysis of the Japanese system; present the startling finding that the vast majority of people choose the wrong accumulation strategies for their pension plans; explore the continuing consequences of the decline in support of parents by children in the postwar period; investigate the relation between nursing home stays and the source of payment for the care; and offer initial findings on the implications of differences between developed and developing countries for understanding aging issues and determining appropriate directions for research.National Bureau of Economic Research project report.Older peopleUnited StatesEconomic conditionsCongressesOlder peopleEconomic conditionsCongressesOld ageEconomic aspectsUnited StatesCongressesOld ageEconomic aspectsCongressesRetirementEconomic aspectsUnited StatesCongressesRetirementEconomic aspectsCongressesElectronic books.Older peopleEconomic conditionsOlder peopleEconomic conditionsOld ageEconomic aspectsOld ageEconomic aspectsRetirementEconomic aspectsRetirementEconomic aspects305.2/6/0973Wise David A124389National Bureau of Economic Research.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451720503321Topics in the economics of aging1937997UNINA
