These fourteen essays show that, despite differences in culture and social and government structure, population aging will have many similar macro and micro effects on the economic status and behavior of the elderly in both countries. The most obvious effects will be on social programs such as public pension systems and the provision for medical needs of the elderly. But, the contributors demonstrate, aging will also affect markets for labor, capital, housing, and health care services. It will affect firms through their participation in the demand side of the labor market and through their provisions for pensions. And aging will influence saving rates, the rate of return on assets, the balance of payments, and, most likely, economic growth. This volume will interest scholars and policy makers concerned with the economics of aging. 410 0$aConference report (National Bureau of Economic Research) 606 $aAge distribution (Demography)$xEconomic aspects$zJapan$vCongresses 606 $aAge distribution (Demography)$xEconomic aspects$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aOlder people$zJapan$xEconomic conditions$vCongresses 606 $aOlder people$zUnited States$xEconomic conditions$vCongresses 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAge distribution (Demography)$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aAge distribution (Demography)$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aOlder people$xEconomic conditions 615 0$aOlder people$xEconomic conditions 676 $a305.26/0973 701 $aHurd$b Michael D$0125548 701 $aYashiro$b Naohiro$f1946-$0919300 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451507303321 996 $aThe economic effects of aging in the United States and Japan$92061809 997 $aUNINA
