Population and Economic Change in East Asia

Résumé du livre

This book examines some of the changes in East Asian demographics, particularly lower fertility levels and a rise in life expectancy. A host of international scholars in economics, business, and sociology tell the story of how East Asian development has affected these radical demographic changes. Chapters focus specifically on topics such as the institutional responses of Mainland China and Taiwan to the need for old-age support, the effects on savings of the changing demographic structure, and the implications for future social policy in a now-developed Asia.
