Beschreibung:
This book reviews the modeling techniques used to project pension related old-age expenditure, and examines the quality and policy relevance of the projections, particularly the four most populated Asian countries: China, India, Indonesia and Japan. It also assesses the additional fiscal resources likely to be required by these four countries as they address challenges of rapid ageing. This book fills an important gap in the existing pension literature.
