Book Synopsis The Aging Population and the Size of the Welfare State by : Assaf Razin
Download or read book The Aging Population and the Size of the Welfare State written by Assaf Razin and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2001 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Data for the United States and countries in Western Europe indicate a negative correlation between the dependency ratio and labor tax rates and the generosity of social transfers, after controlling for other factors that influence the size of the welfare state. This is despite the increased political clout of the dependent population implied by the aging of the population. This paper develops an overlapping generations model of intra-and inter-generational transfers (including old-age social security) and human capital formation which addresses this seeming puzzle. We show that with democratic voting, an increase in the dependency ratio can lead to lower taxes or less generous social transfers.

This book was released on 2002-04-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Data for the United States and countries in Western Europe indicate a negative correlation between the dependency ratio and both labor tax rates and the generosity of social transfers, after controlling for other factors that influence the size of the welfare state. This is despite the increased political clout of the dependent population implied by the aging of the population. This paper develops a model of intra-and inter-generational transfers and human capital formation which addresses this seeming puzzle. We show that with democratic voting, a higher dependency ratio can lead to lower taxes or less generous social transfers.

Book Synopsis Age in the Welfare State by : Julia Lynch
Download or read book Age in the Welfare State written by Julia Lynch and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-06-05 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book asks why some countries devote the lion's share of their social policy resources to the elderly, while others have a more balanced repertoire of social spending. Far from being the outcome of demands for welfare spending by powerful age-based groups in society, the 'age' of welfare is an unintended consequence of the way that social programs are set up. The way that politicians use welfare state spending to compete for votes, along either programmatic or particularistic lines, locks these early institutional choices into place. So while society is changing - aging, divorcing, moving in and out of the labor force over the life course in new ways - social policies do not evolve to catch up. The result, in occupational welfare states like Italy, the United States, and Japan, is social spending that favors the elderly and leaves working-aged adults and children largely to fend for themselves.
Book Synopsis Population Ageing - A Threat to the Welfare State? by : Tommy Bengtsson
Download or read book Population Ageing - A Threat to the Welfare State? written by Tommy Bengtsson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-08-02 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tommy Bengtsson Population ageing, the shift in age distribution towards older ages, is of immense global concern. It is taking place to a varying degree all over the world, more in Europe and some Asian countries, less on the African continent. The worldwide share of people aged 65 years and above is predicted to increase from 7. 5% in 2005 to 16. 1% in 2050 (UN 2007, p. 11). The corresponding ?gures for developed countries are 15. 5 and 26. 2% and for developing countries 5. 5 and 14. 6%. While population ageing has been going on for some time in the developed world, and will continue to do so, most of the change is yet to come for the developing world. The change in developing countries, however, is going to be much faster than it has been in the developed world. For example, while it took more than 100 years in France and more than 80 years in Sweden for the population group aged 65 and above to increase from 7 to 14% of the population, the same change in Japan took place over a 25-year period (UN 2007, p. 13). The scenario for the future is very similar for most developing countries, including highly populated countries like China, India and Brazil. While the start and the speed differ, the shift in age structure towards older ages is a worldwide phenomenon, stressing the signi?cance of the concept global ageing.
Book Synopsis A Note on the Aging Population and the Size of the Welfare State by : András Simonovits
Download or read book A Note on the Aging Population and the Size of the Welfare State written by András Simonovits and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Razin et al. (2002) reported an empirical puzzle concerning certain OECD countries between 1965 and 1992: ceteris paribus, the higher the dependency ratio (implied by population aging), the smaller is the size of the welfare state. To explain the puzzle, they constructed a redistributive OLG model, assuming that (i) the workers receive the same benefits as the old; (ii) having static expectations on future tax rates, the workers maximize their current rather than lifetime incomes. This Note exposes a serious error in the empirical part, namely that population aging and increasing dependency are mixed up. The theoretical part replaces (i) by a more general assumption: The worker's benefit is proportional to old-age benefit and shows the oversensitivity of the model to the fictious value of the proportionality factor. Moreover, replacing static expectations in assumption (ii) by naive-rational expectations leads to a consistent but still imperfect model.
Book Synopsis Ages, Generations and the Social Contract by : Jacques Véron

This book was released on 2007-09-06 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this important and timely book, researchers from different countries compare their experiences and offer contrasting views on the future of social protection. They consider the theoretical aspects of the intergenerational debate, relations between generations within the family, the living standards of elderly people, and the question of social time. For the first time in history, three and sometimes four generations are living at the same time; this book examines the new interactions between family change, labour force participation and population ageing.

Book Synopsis Global Political Demography by : Achim Goerres
Download or read book Global Political Demography written by Achim Goerres and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-08-10 with total page 459 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book draws the big picture of how population change interplays with politics across the world from 1990 to 2040. Leading social scientists from a wide range of disciplines discuss, for the first time, all major political and policy aspects of population change as they play out differently in each major world region: North and South America; Sub-Saharan Africa and the MENA region; Western and East Central Europe; Russia, Belarus and Ukraine; East Asia; Southeast Asia; subcontinental India, Pakistan and Bangladesh; Australia and New Zealand. These macro-regional analyses are completed by cross-cutting global analyses of migration, religion and poverty, and age profiles and intra-state conflicts. From all angles, this book shows how strongly contextualized the political management and the political consequences of population change are. While long-term population ageing and short-term migration fluctuations present structural conditions, political actors play a key role in (mis-)managing, manipulating, and (under-)planning population change, which in turn determines how citizens in different groups react.
Book Synopsis Eldercare, Distributive Justice, and the Welfare State by : Derek G. Gill
Download or read book Eldercare, Distributive Justice, and the Welfare State written by Derek G. Gill and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1994-02-03 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this book describe the situation of the elderly today, taking into account the major political, economic, and social variations of service provided in a variety of countries. Although the welfare state exists in all developed and developing countries, its content and administration varies substantially. The editors first develop a framework of concepts and perspectives that establish links between eldercare, distributive justice, and the welfare state. This is followed by analyses of the services provided to the elderly in selected countries. Finally, the editors show how and in what ways the concepts developed earlier in the introductionequity, uniformity, public accountability, individualism, collectivism, institutional or residual welfare state orientation, high or low wage economyapply to and explain the differences in care of the elderly.
Book Synopsis Ageing and Welfare-State Policy by : Assaf Razin

Book excerpt: It has been well recognized that population ageing could generate structural changes centered around the dwindling labor force, on one hand, and the expanding dependency on the generosity of the welfare state, on the other hand. Ageing-related welfare state policy entails both fiscal issues and migration issues. The paper employs a general-equilibrium model with a policy-making focus, to help understand the mechanism governing the provision of social benefits, labor income taxation, capital income taxation, migration curbs on low skilled and high skilled, driven by the ageing of the population. Greater generosity of the welfare state comes together with policy-- incentive compatible with the interests of the majority voters-- of a more liberal migration policy. Effects of ageing on the tax and benefit sides of the welfare state depends on the size of dependents in the population and on whether the country is a capital importer (in which case the capital tax burden is shared with foreigners) or a capital exporter (in which case the age-related wage increase skews taxation towards labor income). Low ageing evolution correlates with a relatively labor-abundant country (low retirement) turns into labor-scarce country (high retirement). Parallel to the evolution of the labor force, a capital-importer country (high rate of return) becomes capital-exporter (low rate of return). Greater ageing-related demand for social benefits is balanced against the rising cost of labor income taxation, and capital income taxation.
