What Went Wrong with the 1991-92 Official Population Projection of Japan? --Contributors --Author Index --Subject IndexThe population base in both the United States and Japan is growing older and, as those populations age, they provoke heretofore unexamined economic consequences. This cutting-edge, comparative volume, the third in the joint series offered by the National Bureau of Economic Research and the Japan Center for Economic Research, explores those consequences, drawing specific attention to four key areas: incentives for early retirement; savings, wealth, and asset allocation over the life cycle; health care and health care reform; and population projections. Given the undeniable global importance of the Japanese and U.S. economies, these innovative essays shed welcome new light on the complex correlations between aging and economic behavior. This insightful work not only deepens our understanding of the Japanese and American economic landscapes but, through careful examination of the comparative social and economic data, clarifies the complex relation between aging societies, public policies, and economic outcomes.National Bureau of Economic Research conference report.Older peopleUnited StatesEconomic conditionsCongressesOlder peopleJapanEconomic conditionsCongressesAge distribution (Demography)Economic aspectsUnited StatesCongressesAge distribution (Demography)Economic aspectsJapanCongressesaging, retirement, japan, pension, saving, population, reform, healthcare, asset allocation, wealth, nonfiction, economics, employment, labor, workforce, household, investment portfolio, intergenerational transfer, wages, incentives, promotion, insurance plans, annuity, united kingdom, government, policy, social security, poverty.Older peopleEconomic conditionsOlder peopleEconomic conditionsAge distribution (Demography)Economic aspectsAge distribution (Demography)Economic aspects305.26/0952Ogura Seiritsu1658806Tachibanaki Toshiaki1943-967920Wise David A124389National Bureau of Economic Research.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910818998903321Aging issues in the United States and Japan4099247UNINA
