Population Aging

Is Latin America Ready?

About this book

Is Latin America ready for its aging population? This book examines the socioeconomic challenges and opportunities presented by population aging in Latin America and the Caribbean, a process that will occur rapidly in the region.

The book explores the support of the aging and poverty in the life cycle, the health transition, and the fiscal pressures that accompany population aging. It disentangles the role of demography from policy, offering insights into work and retirement, income and wealth, and living arrangements.

Readers will discover:

  • How demographic changes impact health status and health care demand
  • The economic implications of aging on health demand
  • The fiscal impact of demographic change on public expenditures
This volume is essential for policymakers, economists, and researchers seeking to understand and address the challenges of population aging in the developing world. Edited by Daniel Cotlear and published by The World Bank.
