The contributors examine social security reform, including an analysis of the Japanese system; present the startling finding that the vast majority of people choose the wrong accumulation strategies for their pension plans; explore the continuing consequences of the decline in support of parents by children in the postwar period; investigate the relation between nursing home stays and the source of payment for the care; and offer initial findings on the implications of differences between developed and developing countries for understanding aging issues and determining appropriate directions for research.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47813655855255,"sku":"9780226902982","price":10981.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780226902982.webp?v=1778337484","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/topics-in-the-economics-of-aging-9780226902982","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
