| Description: |
This book is concerned with transfers of economic resources between generations. What determines the magnitude and direction of those transfers? What are the respective roles of the family, the private sector, and the government? How do transfers affect demographic behaviour? Inequality? Economic growth? Other aspects of the economy? These issues are addressed in 15 previously unpublished papers by some of the leading experts in the field. The book is intendedprimarily for a scholarly audience and should be of particular interest to economists, demographers, and other social scientists. It should also be of interest to those concerned with pension reform and other ageing policies. |
| Synopsis: |
This book is a collection of papers by leading scholars whose research concerns economic transfers between generations. The issues addressed have great relevance to demographic issues, particularly the determination of fertility, to economic issues, including equity and growth, and to public policy, especially social security reform. Part I focuses on intergenerational features of the macroeconomy. Advances in the construct ion of generational accounts are described and used to examine how the magnitude and direction of intergenerational transfers influences demographic behaviour, the distribution of income and the accumulation of wealth. Studies presented in Part II consider the role of the state as a provider of economic security for the elderly. The authors draw on international experience and discuss many of the issues that must be confronted if efforts to reform public pension programs are to be successful. Part III considers the intergenerational behaviour of the family.The authors examine competing theories in both industrialized and developing country settings to consider how demographic change, the development of financial institutions, public policy and other economic forces influence the amount, form and timing of intergenerational transfers. |
