The Economics of Aging

This volume contains papers presented at an NBER conference on The Economics of Aging, held in New Orleans in March 1987. The conference was part of NBER's Project on the Economics of Aging. The goal of the project is to further our understanding of both the determinants of the economic well-being and the health status of the elderly, and the consequences for the elderly and for the population-at-large of an increasingly older population with longer individual life spans. The papers in this volume may be grouped into four areas: (1) housing, living arrangements, and family support; (2) labor force participation and retirement; (3) the economics of health and health care; and (4) financial status.
