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. 410 0$aNational Bureau of Economic Research conference report. 606 $aOlder people$zUnited States$xEconomic conditions$vCongresses 606 $aOlder people$zJapan$xEconomic conditions$vCongresses 606 $aAge distribution (Demography)$xEconomic aspects$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aAge distribution (Demography)$xEconomic aspects$zJapan$vCongresses 610 $aaging, retirement, japan, pension, saving, population, reform, healthcare, asset allocation, wealth, nonfiction, economics, employment, labor, workforce, household, investment portfolio, intergenerational transfer, wages, incentives, promotion, insurance plans, annuity, united kingdom, government, policy, social security, poverty. 615 0$aOlder people$xEconomic conditions 615 0$aOlder people$xEconomic conditions 615 0$aAge distribution (Demography)$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aAge distribution (Demography)$xEconomic aspects 676 $a305.26/0952 701 $aOgura$b Seiritsu$01537034 701 $aTachibanaki$b Toshiaki$f1943-$0967920 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 $a9910777059303321 996 $aAging issues in the United States and Japan$93786122 997 $aUNINA
