Abstract

There is a long-standing debate on how population growth affects national economies. The authors, led by Harvard economist David Bloom, examine the history of this debate and synthesize current research on the topic. They conclude that population age structure, more than size or growth per se, affects economic development, and that reducing high fertility can create opportunities for economic growth if the right kinds of educational, health, and labor-market policies are in place.

Abstract

The Canadian population is aging. As the "Baby-Boomer" generation reaches retirement age, policy-makers have begun to fear the economic and demographic challenges ahead. Aging and Demographic Change in Canadian Context responds to this alarmist view. The contributors present several alternative perspectives and question whether an aging society is necessarily inferior or problematic compared with the recent past, cautioning that exaggerated concerns about population aging can be harmful to rational policy making. The contributors argue that it is important to develop forward-looking programs that may influence life course trajectories in favourable directions, and that these new policies should be developed with respect to the life course considered as a whole. "Old age" is a slippery concept, and the effective boundaries between it and "middle age" are not always clear. The essays in Aging and Demographic Change in Canadian Context address these challenges and seek to broaden public discussion on aging and Canadian public policy

Abstract

Les projections démographiques au Canada et dans d’autres pays inspirent de vives inquiétudes concernant l’avenir des « sociétés vieillissantes ». Ces préoccupations font souvent l’objet d’intenses débats, les arguments et contre-arguments se retrouvant dans les disciplines universitaires qui touchent à la démographie, la sociologie, la psychologie… Ce qui prédomine souvent aussi bien dans les médias que dans le public, c’est une vision plutôt alarmiste basée entre autres sur les projections concernant l’accroissement des coûts des régimes de pension et des soins de santé alors que la proportion de la population active et productive diminue. Cet ouvrage remet en question cette perception en présentant plusieurs perspectives différentes qui résultent en une vision plus nuancée de la réalité. Les auteurs démontrent que les implications des projections démographiques doivent être examinées dans un contexte plus large qui comprend des éléments économiques, politiques, sociaux, familiaux, culturels et temporels.
