Social Security Policy in a Changing Environment analyzes the changing
economic and demographic environment in which social insurance
programs that benefit elderly households will operate. It also
explores how these ongoing trends will affect future beneficiaries,
under both the current social security program and potential reform
options. In this volume, an esteemed group of economists probes
the challenge posed to Social Security by an aging population. The
researchers examine trends in private sector retirement saving and
health care costs, as well as the uncertain nature of future
demographic, economic, and social trends—including marriage and
divorce rates and female participation in the labor force. Recognizing
the ambiguity of the environment in which the Social Security system
must operate and evolve, this landmark book explores factors that
policymakers must consider in designing policies that are resilient
enough to survive in an economically and demographically uncertain
society.
