‘. . . it is a marvellous idea to publish a collection of the most influential articles in a specific field. The series could become an important first reference for students and young teachers who turn to a new research area.’
– Hans Fehr, Kyklos

The fundamental role of individual ageing is something that everyone is necessarily aware of, and the division of the life cycle into a number of distinct stages has been recognised for many centuries.

This volume collects 32 articles concerned with a variety of economic aspects of individual and population ageing. They have been arranged under four main headings as follows: individual ageing and the life cycle; population ageing; ageing and social insurance; and macroeconomic effects. The editor has prepared a fresh introduction to accompany the piece which aims to set the context and discuss some of the major issues.

32 articles, dating from 1955 to 1991 Contents: Introduction Part I: Individual Ageing and the Life Cycle Part II: Population Ageing Part III: Ageing and Social Insurance Part IV: Macroeconomic Effects Index Contributors: H.J.
