Book Description
There have been long-term fiscal simulations of what might happen to fed. deficits and debt levels under varying policy assumptions. These simulations were updated with Jan. 2008 budget and economic projections and continue to indicate that the long-term fed. fiscal outlook remains unstable. The fiscal challenges facing all levels of gov¿t. are linked and should be considered in a strategic and integrated manner. The fed. gov¿t. faces large and growing structural deficits driven primarily by rising health care costs and known demographic trends. Nearly 80 million Americans will become eligible for Social Security retirement benefits in the next 20 yrs. Medicare and Medicaid are both large and projected to continue growing rapidly in the future.

Aging and the Macroeconomy
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309261961
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 230
Book Description
The United States is in the midst of a major demographic shift. In the coming decades, people aged 65 and over will make up an increasingly large percentage of the population: The ratio of people aged 65+ to people aged 20-64 will rise by 80%. This shift is happening for two reasons: people are living longer, and many couples are choosing to have fewer children and to have those children somewhat later in life. The resulting demographic shift will present the nation with economic challenges, both to absorb the costs and to leverage the benefits of an aging population. Aging and the Macroeconomy: Long-Term Implications of an Older Population presents the fundamental factors driving the aging of the U.S. population, as well as its societal implications 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 offers four practical approaches for preparing resources to support the future consumption of households and for adapting to the new economic landscape.
