Demographics is a vital field of study for understanding social and
economic change and it has attracted attention in recent years as
concerns have grown over the aging populations of developed nations.
Demographic studies help make sense of key aspects of the economy,
offering insight into trends in fertility, mortality, immigration, and
labor force participation, as well as age, gender, and race specific
trends in health and disability. Demography and the Economy explores
the connections between demography and economics, paying special
attention to what demographic trends can reveal about the
sustainability of traditional social security programs and the larger
implications for economic growth. The volume brings together some of
the leading scholars working at the border between the two
disciplines, and it provides an eclectic overview of both fields.
Contributors also offer deeper analysis of a variety of issues such as
the impact of greater wealth on choices about marriage and
childbearing and the effects of aging populations on housing prices,
Social Security, and Medicare.
