Présentation de l'éditeur

With the impending retirement of some 76 million Baby Boomers, understanding the economic, political, and social issues related to the aging population is paramount. If the doom-and-gloomers have their way, the elderly will be put out to pasture, with inadequate health care and financial resources, and a crumbling social welfare system. In Aging Nation, renowed experts in the field, James Schulz and Robert Binstock, agree that there is considerable cause for concern, but with a variety of sound policies and programs in place and smart individual choices, the elderly can prosper, and a demographic tsunami is not inevitable. Drawing from the most current data, the authors provide in-depth analysis of the nation's evolving private and public policies on retirement, faltering employer pensions, health care, workplace conditions, and entitlement programs, and consider such timely issues as poverty among the elderly, rejoining the workforce after retirement, Social Security and health care reform, and the rise of the elderly as a powerful political force. Dispelling popular myths and misconceptions that are perpetrated by politicians and pundits alike, they provide a comprehensive and balanced assessment of the issues and their impact on everyone, old and young.

Deserving poor or greedy geezers? The debate rages on. In a period of huge government deficits and the impending retirement of some 76 million Baby Boomers, understanding the economic, political, and social issues related to the aging population is paramount. The policy debates have never been more contentious; they range from deciding who should receive limited subsidized housing and medical services to the ongoing battle over saving Social Security and other entitlement programs. If the doom-and-gloomers have their way, the elderly will be put out to pasture, with inadequate health care and financial resources, and a crumbling social welfare infrastructure that will implode under the strain of intergenerational conflict. This book debunks most aging crises put forth by merchants of doom and offers a new policy focus for our nation.

    "Aging Nation" is both highly informative and carefully reasoned. The co-authors, James Schulz, a well known economist, and Robert Binstock, a widely respected political scientist, have succeeded in combining several decades of work in their respective disciplines to produce a highly readable book for the general public.

    Covering a variety of issues, ranging from retirement and Social Security to healthcare, the authors first present prevailing views followed by their careful analysis based on data as well as relevant historical precedents. For example, in discussing the current Social Security crisis, the authors remind us of a "modest but effective reform developed by The National Commission on Social Security Reform" (chaired by Alan Greenspan) under the Reagan administration "that put Social Security on a sound basis for many decades to come. "

    One of the major strengths of this book is its focus on current developments which are close to many readers' hearts and minds: What are the effects of stock market fluctuation on older Americans? How does "off-shoring" of work to developing nations affect older Americans' chance for keeping or finding employment? Is it relevant to blame older people for the current healthcare crisis? The co-authors address these and other issues in a lucid manner.

    Because of its attention to various issues demanding policy decisions, this book is especially relevant this Presidential election year. For anyone wishing to formulate a reasoned and well-informed opinion on the candidates' positions on economic security, retirement, health care and related issues, this is a "must" read.

    An outstanding, readable and credible overview of the economic and political implications of the aging of America... James Schulz and Robert Binstock, two highly-respected scholars, reject sensational and ideologically-driven claims that America cannot afford to support tomorrow's elders, that today's young will be overwhelmed by pension and health care costs for tomorrow's old.

    The authors identify and discuss strains in the nation's public and private retirement and health security systems. The diverse circumstances of today's and tomorrow's elderly populations are examined. Problems in the occupationally-based health insurance system (including declines in retiree health insurace protection) are discussed as combining with overseas job competition, declines in employer pension protections and stock market fluctuations to shift risk onto individuals and their families. Schulz's and Binstock's analysis highlights the importance of maintaining the nation's commitment to the social insurance approachas exemplified by Social Security and Medicare -- the foundations of the nation's retirement and health security system. Their political and economic analysis shows how this can be accomplished and identifies trade-offs of various proposals.

    "Aging Nation" is a valuable resource for those seeking a fresh and reasoned discussion about choices and complexities, challenges and opportunities, surrounding the 60 year transition of the 78 million persons born between 1946 and 1964 through their middle years and then into their early- and finally advanced-old ages. In discussing this demographic change, the authors examine the implications for differing age groups, taxpayers, employers and families.

    A public service and an unquestionably useful book for students, decision-makers, the reading public and scholars... "Aging Nation" should find its ways onto the shelves of many libraries and into the hands of those shaping national discourse about population aging and the future of Social Security, Medicare and related policies.
