This demographic trend-caused by a decrease in fertility rather than improved longevity-presents both challenges and opportunities for governments, the private sector, and individuals alike. Some of the challenges are well known. Output per capita becomes smaller if it is shared with an increasingly larger group of dependent older people. At a certain point, there may not be sufficient resources to maintain the living standards of this older group, especially if rising expenditures on health care,Europe and Central Asia studies.AgingEconomic aspectsAsia, CentralPopulation agingEconomic aspectsEuropePopulation agingEconomic aspectsAsia, CentralAgingEconomic aspectsEuropeElectronic books.AgingEconomic aspectsPopulation agingEconomic aspectsPopulation agingEconomic aspectsAgingEconomic aspects332.1532 Bussolo Maurizio123803Koettl JohannesSinnott EmilyMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910460696003321Golden aging1926397UNINA
