| Abstract: | In almost every industrialized country, the population is aging rapidly, and individuals are living longer. This paper presents comparisons based on evidence presented in papers written for 11 industrialized countries. The central feature of the project is the presentation of comparable descriptive data and analytic calculations for each of these 11 countries. Thus, comparisons can be made on a common footing. The individual country papers present parallel data for both men and women, and it is clear that the incentive effects of social security plan provisions are important for women as well as for men. |
