Produktbeschreibung
As societies are aging across the world, political
and public awareness of this ongoing demographic
development is increasing, as are the requests for
profound analysis and research on the subject. One
of the major consequences of aging societies is
decreasing ratios of people of traditional working-
age to people outside the labour market. Without
reform, projected pension benefit levels are
expected to exceed projected pension contributions,
resulting in increased deficits in pension accounts
as well as in public finances in general. . Public
provision of health and long-term care for the
elderly will only add to the burden. OECD outlines
seven principles for reform in responding to the
challenges of ageing populations. This work
primarily focuses on current reforms in the pension
system, pension income and the employability of
older workers and how reforms in Norway and Denmark
comply with the normative principles of OECD and the
Scandinavian welfare state. Is it possible to
maintain generous universal pension benefits while
ensuring the sustainability of the overall pension
system? And how is the burden of an ageing
population to be fairly distributed?
