| Annotation | This volume consists of papers presented at a joint Japan Center for Economic Research - National Bureau of Economic Research conference held in Hakone, Japan, in 1993. Topics covered include: the effects of demographic trends on consumption and savings patterns of older people in Japan and the United States; the consequences of ageing populations on private pension fund saving, national saving and asset accumulation; the effects of personal retirement saving, social security and retirement benefits on the wealth of older people; and public pension reform. Population ageing in both countries will also affect the markets for employment, capital, housing, and health care services, as well as saving rates, the balance of payments, and economic growth. |
