The global demographic landscape is undergoing a significant transformation as populations across the world are ageing at an unprecedented rate. This demographic shift presents both challenges and opportunities that require a nuanced understanding and comprehensive analysis. "Perspectives on the Economics of Aging" aims to provide an interdisciplinary platform for exploring these multifaceted economic dimensions of ageing populations.
This edited volume seeks to delve into the economic implications of ageing from both global and national perspectives. We invite contributions that examine the diverse and complex ways in which ageing affects economic structures, labor markets, healthcare systems, pension schemes, technological advancements, and policy frameworks. By bringing together insights from economics, social policy, health sciences, and technology, this book will offer a holistic view of the economics of ageing.
The chapters in this volume will address critical questions such as:
• How do ageing populations impact economic growth and productivity?
• What are the sustainability challenges facing pension systems worldwide?
• How can technological innovations enhance the quality of life for older adults?
• What role do healthcare costs and delivery systems play in the economic well-being of the elderly?
• How can policies foster intergenerational equity and support the economic participation of older adults?
We are particularly interested in original and innovative research that highlights emerging trends, offers policy solutions, and provides comparative analyses across different countries and regions. Contributions that blend theoretical insights with empirical data, case studies, and practical recommendations are highly encouraged.
