Kurzfassung auf Englisch: |
| Population aging will be one of the most important social phenomena of the twentyfirst century. It is important because eligibility for most major social transfer programs are strongly tied to age and so are affected by changes in age population structures, which is also true with the government revenues from which the programs are financed. It is important because changes in the aggregate age structure affect nearly all social institutions, from firms to families. How these institutions accommodate themselves to impending changes in population age structures will have a significant effect on the quality
of life in the twenty-first century. The purpose of this note is to promote research on the economic implications of the demographic changes in Spain. I first describe past demographic changes and a plausible future prospect. Then, I offer some preliminary thoughts on several important economic issues which are most relevant to current and future demographic situations in Spain. |
