With essays on labor force participation and retirement, housing equity and the economic status of the elderly, budget implications of an aging population, and financing social security and health care in the 1990's, this volume covers a broad spectrum of issues related to the economics of aging. Among the book's findings are that workers are retiring at an increasingly earlier age in both countries and that, as the populations age, baby boomers in the United States will face diminishing financial resources as the ratio of retirees to workers sharply increases. The result of a joint venture between the National Bureau of Economic Research and the Japan Center for Economic Research, this book complements Housing Markets in the United States and Japan (1994) by integrating research on housing markets with economic issues of the aged in the United States and Japan. 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 $aOlder people$zUnited States$xSocial conditions$vCongresses 606 $aOlder people$zJapan$xSocial conditions$vCongresses 606 $aOlder people$xHousing$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aOlder people$xHousing$zJapan$vCongresses 610 $aaging, economics, health care, social security, federal budget, elderly, housing equity, retirement, labor force participation, employment, pension, savings, wealth, baby boomers, insolvency, reform, government, japan, finance, asset holdings, household, nonfiction, politics, senior citizens, poverty, policy, ira, workforce, economy. 615 0$aOlder people$xEconomic conditions 615 0$aOlder people$xEconomic conditions 615 0$aOlder people$xSocial conditions 615 0$aOlder people$xSocial conditions 615 0$aOlder people$xHousing 615 0$aOlder people$xHousing 676 $a305.26/0952 701 $aNoguchi$b Yukio$f1940-$01631194 701 $aWise$b David A$0124389 712 02$aNational Bureau of Economic Research. 712 02$aNihon Keizai Kenkyu?
