Synopsis

Aging and the Macroeconomy presents the fundamental factors driving the aging of the United States population and likely long-term macroeconomic effects in a global context. The report finds that, while population aging does not pose an insurmountable challenge to the nation, it is imperative that sensible policies are implemented soon to allow companies and households to respond. It identifies important options for consideration and finds some aspects to be less of a concern. The goal of this report is to provide insights that will be widely used to support the serious discussion of the urgent aging-related issues confronting our society and of appropriate policy options to ensure the adequacy of retirement income. This report will be of value to economists, educators, business leaders, policy makers, health care professionals, and the general public.
