Contributors consider the housing mobility and living arrangements of the elderly, their labor force participation and retirement, the economics of their health care, and their financial status. The goal of the research is to further our understanding both of the factors that determine the well-being of the elderly and of the consequences that follow from an increasingly older population with longer individual life spans. Each paper is accompanied by critical commentary.Project report (National Bureau of Economic Research)Older peopleUnited StatesEconomic conditionsCongressesOlder peopleEconomic aspectsUnited StatesCongressesOlder peopleHousingUnited StatesCongressesRetirementEconomic aspectsUnited StatesCongresseseconomy, growing old, elderly, age, finance, financial, money, monetary, wealth, income, poverty, research, project, bureau, national, congress, retirement, retiree, labor, healthcare, status, poor, class, classism, lifetime, lifespan, united states, usa, america, housing, cash, demographic, assets, social security, employee, behavior, pension.Older peopleEconomic conditionsOlder peopleEconomic aspectsOlder peopleHousingRetirementEconomic aspects305.2/6/0973Wise David A124389National Bureau of Economic Research.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782824703321ECONOMICS of aging3618571UNINA
