Publisher's Synopsis
This report provides a new empirical analysis of the incomes of older people in 11 countries: the United Kingdom, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Australia, Canada, Sweden and the United States. It also presents the results, for a narrower range of countries, of an analysis of living standards, defined to include the value of government-provided health and education services, as well as disposable cash income. In addition, attention is given to the role of owner-occupied housing and liquid wealth.
