Global trends the Impact of a changing age structure / By Peter Francese. — New York : MetLife Mature Martket Institute, 2012

(Mature market trends)

Sumario: With the rise of the worlds population past the 7 billion mark, opinions are plentiful as to the consequences of continued population growth. In the past, these discussions focused on concerns that too many children would outstrip our food supply. However, as birth rates have been falling, many countries have shifted their focus to the rapid rise of elderly as it compares to a shrinking number of workers. A major concern now is too few young people to provide for the health care and needs of the rapidly growing population of older people. The prospect of gaining or losing substantial numbers of people over the next 20 years will no doubt focus the mind of government officials in those nations. But it will also have an economic impact on individuals and families now living in those nations where population gains or losses are extraordinarily large
