Financing Health Care for Elderly Americans in the 1990's --Contributors --Author Index --Subject IndexJapanese and American economists assess the present economic status of the elderly in the United States and Japan, and consider the impact of an aging population on the economies of the two countries. With essays on labor force participation and retirement, housing equity and the economic status of the elderly, budget implications of an aging population, and financing social security and health care in the 1990's, this volume covers a broad spectrum of issues related to the economics of aging. Among the book's findings are that workers are retiring at an increasingly earlier age in both countries and that, as the populations age, baby boomers in the United States will face diminishing financial resources as the ratio of retirees to workers sharply increases. The result of a joint venture between the National Bureau of Economic Research and the Japan Center for Economic Research, this book complements Housing Markets in the United States and Japan (1994) by integrating research on housing markets with economic issues of the aged in the United States and Japan.National Bureau of Economic Research conference report.Older peopleUnited StatesEconomic conditionsCongressesOlder peopleJapanEconomic conditionsCongressesOlder peopleUnited StatesSocial conditionsCongressesOlder peopleJapanSocial conditionsCongressesOlder peopleHousingUnited StatesCongressesOlder peopleHousingJapanCongressesaging, economics, health care, social security, federal budget, elderly, housing equity, retirement, labor force participation, employment, pension, savings, wealth, baby boomers, insolvency, reform, government, japan, finance, asset holdings, household, nonfiction, politics, senior citizens, poverty, policy, ira, workforce, economy.Older peopleEconomic conditionsOlder peopleEconomic conditionsOlder peopleSocial conditionsOlder peopleSocial conditionsOlder peopleHousingOlder peopleHousing305.26/0952Noguchi Yukio1940-1499085Wise David A124389National Bureau of Economic Research.Nihon Keizai Kenkyū Sentā.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910784514403321Aging in the United States and Japan3829558UNINA
