dc.description.abstractThe past half-century has seen enormous changes in the demographic makeup of Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). In the 1950s, LAC had a small population of about 160 million people, less than today's population of Brazil. Two-thirds of Latin Americans lived in rural areas. Families were large and women had one of the highest fertility rates in the world, low levels of education, and few opportunities for work outside the household. Investments in health and education reached only a small fraction of the children, many of whom died before reaching age five. Since then, the size of the LAC population has tripled and the mostly rural population has been transformed into a largely urban population. There have been steep reductions in child mortality, and investments in health and education have increased, today reaching a majority of children. Fertility has been more than halved and the opportunities for women in education and for work outside the household have improved significantly. Life expectancy has grown by 22 years. Less obvious to the casual observer, but of significance for policy makers, a population with a large fraction of dependent children has evolved into a population with fewer dependents and a very large proportion of working-age adults. This overview seeks to introduce the reader to three groups of issues related to population aging in LAC. First is a group of issues related to the support of the aging and poverty in the life cycle. Second is the question of the health transition. Third is an understanding of the fiscal pressures that are likely to accompany population aging and to disentangle the role of demography from the role of policy in that process.en
dc.description.abstractEl objetivo del libro es contribuir al creciente debate en torno a la transición demográfica, explorando tres temas que no han sido objeto de una atención sistemática en ALC y que cada vez están teniendo mayor preponderancia en las políticas y la política de la región: el soporte al adulto mayor y para el alivio de la pobreza en el ciclo de vida económica; la sostenibilidad del gasto social en un mundo que envejece; y el impacto del envejecimiento en el estado de salud y la atención de salud. Estos temas permiten avanzar rápidamente en la comprensión de la problemática, al poner en conocimiento de los responsables de diseñar las políticas económicas datos estadísticos disponibles para el caso de la situación económica del adulto mayor, metodologías recientemente disponibles para el caso de la sostenibilidad del gasto público o las nuevas revelaciones sobre la economía de la felicidad, o los resultados del debate técnico entre especialistas del sector para el caso del estado de salud.es
