| Description: |
That we all live longer is perhaps one of the greatest achievements of human progress. Yet increasing numbers of older people across the globe are having a huge impact on the structure of populations, offering both challenges and opportunities for the future. This title provides an analysis of the social and economic implications of this trend. |
| Synopsis: |
Ageing and Development is an authoritative analysis of the social and economic implications of this trend. Providing a wealth of statistical and quantitative evidence and complied by leading economists working in this area, this book provides an analysis of the social and economic implications of population ageing and development. It argues that the challenges are not insurmountable, but societies need to put in place the required policies to confront theses challenges effectively. This is a timely and definitive guide to the impact of global ageing population. |
