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. 410 0$aProject report (National Bureau of Economic Research) 606 $aOlder people$zUnited States$xEconomic conditions$vCongresses 606 $aOlder people$xEconomic aspects$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aOlder people$xHousing$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aRetirement$xEconomic aspects$zUnited States$vCongresses 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aOlder people$xEconomic conditions 615 0$aOlder people$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aOlder people$xHousing 615 0$aRetirement$xEconomic aspects 676 $a305.2/6/0973 701 $aWise$b David A$0124389 712 02$aNational Bureau of Economic Research. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454053603321 996 $aThe economics of aging$92125312 997 $aUNINA
