An unfavourable age  distribution, with lower population shares in working ages and  increasing shares and numbers of elderly persons in the future will  lead, under current pension systems, to a drop in contributions and at  the same time to sharply rising amounts of benefits paid. \u003cbr\u003e  This book analyzes the impact of dynamics in age structure and marital  status composition on future public pension expenditures in twelve  industrialized countries. It shows that there is no demographic  response to population ageing at the horizon 2030. Neither an increase  in fertility nor an inflow of migrants can rejuvenate national  populations, unless fertility and\/or migration reach unrealistically  high levels. Therefore, the overall conclusion of this book is that  demographic variables are of limited help to relieve the burden of  future public pension expenditures. Substantial reductions of the  public pension burden have to be sought in socioeconomic measures, and  not in adjusting demographic conditions. \u003cbr\u003e  The book includes various demographic and pension scenarios for  pension costs in the coming decades for Austria, Canada, the Czech and  Slovak Republics, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the  Netherlands, Norway, Poland, and Sweden. Not only old age pensions,  but also disability and survivor pensions have been investigated.  Variant projections were calculated for changes in demographic, labour  force, and pension system variables. In addition, separate case  studies for three countries deal with: a pension system in Austria in  which benefits depend on the number children ever born; the impact of  household dynamics on social security in the Netherlands, not just  marriage and marriage dissolution; and with the consequences of  economic growth for public pensions in Sweden. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1995-02-28\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792333951\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-015-8441-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 234cm x156cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 238\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45548426035340,"sku":"9780792333951","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792333951.jpg?v=1771516576","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792333951","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
