Read the latest issue Population Connection !
[[link removed]]
The latest issue of our quarterly publication, Population Connection , tackles a timely and contentious topic—how to cope with rapidly aging populations in advanced economies like the United States. In the issue's featured article, economist Dean Baker makes the case that countries with a rising ration of retirees to workers shouldn't see any declines in living standards as long as they can continue to make gains in productivity.
Read his piece—and check out the rest of the issue—on our website!
