Introduction -- 2. The evil of a premature death -- 3. An insurance against a short life -- 4. Reversing retirement systems -- 5. Conclusions: The Welfare State at a crossroad. 330 $aThis book takes as a starting point that welfare states in developed societies do not provide systems of social insurance against the risk of an early death. In contrast to the way in which economically developed countries provide ways of insuring citizens against other possibilities, such as unemployment and disease, no such social insurance mechanism exists for early death. It aims to demonstrate that, despite the impossibility to compensate the victims of a short life once they are identified, and despite the impossibility to identify the persons who will be short-lived (when they are still alive), it is nonetheless possible to construct a social insurance against the risk of a short life by means of age-based statistical discrimination favouring all young persons. Combining philosophical literature with economic analysis, the book re-examines the ethical foundations of social insurance, and proposes a major reform of the welfare state: the construction of a social insurance against a short life. It shows how such an insurance system could be constructed by partially ?reversing? existing pension systems, by offering a period of retirement to all young adults before they start their career. Such a ?reversed? pension system would allocate more free time and opportunities to younger members of society before they enter the labour market, and, hence, this system would also improve the lives of the ? unidentified ? young persons who will turn out to die prematurely. The book discusses the social desirability of this new system, as well as its financial feasibility and societal consequences, examining how pension allowances paid to young adults may be financed by the work of senior workers. As such, this book demonstrates how the universal uncertainty about the duration of life can be reconciled with the idea of social justice. With an accessible and interdisciplinary approach, this book will be ofinterest to academics working in a range of fields, including economics, public finance, social insurance, the economics of ageing and the welfare state, economic ethics and political philosophy. Gregory Ponthiere is a Professor of Economics and Philosophy at the Université catholique de Louvain, Hoover Chair in Economic and Social Ethics. . 606 $aFinance, Public 606 $aLabor economics 606 $aPopulation$xEconomic aspects 606 $aMedical economics 606 $aPublic Finance 606 $aPublic Economics 606 $aLabor and Population Economics 606 $aHealth Economics 615 0$aFinance, Public. 615 0$aLabor economics. 615 0$aPopulation$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aMedical economics. 615 14$aPublic Finance. 615 24$aPublic Economics. 615 24$aLabor and Population Economics. 615 24$aHealth Economics. 676 $a336 676 $a368.400842 700 $aPonthie?re$b Gre?gory$01348042 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910683344703321 996 $aAllocating Pensions to Younger People$93085125 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04010nam 2200637Ia 450 001 9910957320503321 005 20251017110105.0 010 $a0-309-17211-X 010 $a0-309-51633-1 035 $a(CKB)110986584753012 035 $a(EBL)3375368 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000129007 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11138953 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000129007 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10069554 035 $a(PQKB)11545051 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3375368 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3375368 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10038641 035 $a(OCoLC)923255874 035 $a(DNLM)960198 035 $a(BIP)53857334 035 $a(BIP)6423331 035 $a(EXLCZ)99110986584753012 100 $a20000815d2000 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 14$aThe consequences of maternal morbidity and maternal mortality $ereport of a workshop /$fCommittee on Population ; Holly E.

As a follow- on activity, the committee proposed an investigation into the social and economic consequences of maternal morbidity and mortality. With funding from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and the U.S. Agency for International Development, the committee organized a workshop on this topic in Washington, DC, on October 19-20, 1998. The Consequences of Maternal Morbidity and Maternal Mortality assesses the scientific knowledge about the consequences of maternal morbidity and mortality and discusses key findings from recent research. Although the existing research on this topic is scarce, the report drew on similar literature on the consequences of adult disease and death, especially the growing literature on the socioeconomic consequences of AIDS, to look at potential consequences from maternal disability and death. 606 $aMaternal health services$vCongresses 606 $aMothers$xMortality$vCongresses 615 0$aMaternal health services 615 0$aMothers$xMortality 676 $a362.1 701 $aReed$b Holly$01806453 701 $aKoblinsky$b Marjorie A$01852238 701 $aMosley$b W.
