Not only will there be disproportionately fewer workers making pension contributions than there are retirees drawing pension benefits, but the youth-to-age imbalance would significantly affect the total contributive capacity of future generations and hence their total income growth. In Children and Pensions, Alessandro Cigno and Martin Werding examine the way pension policy and child-related benefits affect fertility behavior and productivity growth. They present theoretical arguments to the effect that public pension coverage as such will reduce aggregate fertility and may raise aggregate household savings. They argue further that public pensions, as they are currently designed, discourage parents from private human capital investment in their children to improve the children's future earning capacity. After an overview of pension and child benefit policies (focusing on the European Union, Japan, and the United States), the authors offer an empirical and theoretical analysis and a simulation of the effects of the policies under discussion. Their policy proposals to address declines in fertility and productivity growth include the innovative suggestion that relates a person's pension entitlements to his or her number of children and the children's earning ability--proposing that, in effect, a person's pension could be financed in part or in full by the pensioner's own children. 001404106 588__ $$aOCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record. 001404106 650_0 $$aFamily allowances. 001404106 650_0 $$aSocial security. 001404106 650_0 $$aFamily demography$$xEconomic aspects. 001404106 650_0 $$aChild welfare. 001404106 653__ $$aECONOMICS/Public Economics 001404106 653__ $$aSOCIAL SCIENCES/Political Science/Public Policy & Law 001404106 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001404106 7001_ $$aWerding, Martin. 001404106 852__ $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete 001404106 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=3338747$$zOnline Access 001404106 85642 $$3OCLC metadata license agreement$$uhttp://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf 001404106 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:391725$$pGLOBAL_SET 001404106 980__ $$aBIB 001404106 980__ $$aEBOOK 001404106 982__ $$aEbook 001404106 983__ $$aOnline
