Analyzing wealth through an integrated economic and demographic framework: The case of the Netherlands (Arjan Bruil and Jan W. van Tongeren)
This paper studies the impact of a graying population on the totals and age profiles of macro-economic aggregates such as household consumption, household disposable income, saving, and investment, as well as on pension funds and other social insurance schemes. It also deals with the effects on the composition of household disposable income between the components of labor income (compensation of employees and mixed income of own-account workers), social transfers, and asset income, and how this influences wealth and worth of the household sector in terms of fixed assets, pension funds, other asset holdings, and transfer worth.
