Por Organización Panamericana de la Salud A la hora de pensar y entender el envejecimiento saludable, es importante considerar los diferentes procesos de envejecimiento poblacional y, respecto a los pueblos indígenas, se deben considerar las problemáticas estructurales entrelazadas, que van desde marcadas desigualdades en relación con la población no indígena, acompañadas de conflictos vinculados al territorio, hasta aspectos culturales que incluyen el modo de concebir e interpretar la vejez, el envejecimiento, la salud y lo saludable.

El envejecimiento, la auténtica bomba demográfica

Por David E. Bloom & Leo M. Zucker   El 15 de noviembre de 2022, la población mundial total superó la marca de 8.000 millones de personas. Para pasar de 7.000 a 8.000 millones se necesitaron tan solo 12 años, lo cual reavivó los antiguos temores asociados a un rápido crecimiento de la población: escasez de alimentos, desempleo galopante, agotamiento de recursos naturales y degradación descontrolada del medio ambiente. No obstante, el reto demográfico más extraordinario que enfrentamos ya no es el...

Fiscal Stimulus or Debt Relief: The Effect of Federal Pandemic Aid on State and Local Pensions

By Grace Brang, Sewin Chan & Travis St. Clair Between 2020-2021, the U.S. federal government passed four major pieces of legislation that included nearly $1 trillion in aid to state and local governments. One concern with distributing federal stimulus in the form of intergovernmental transfers is that subnational governments may use the aid to pay down unfunded pension liabilities or other debt rather than preserve employment. We examine the effect of fiscal stimulus passed in response to Covid-19 on public...

By Robert L. Clark & Olivia S. Mitchell We evaluate Americans’ financial robustness during the Covid-19 pandemic, using measures of financial resilience and financial fragility derived from US surveys of persons age 45-75 from 2020 to 2022. We analyze which factors were associated with resilience and fragility, discuss how these measures changed during the pandemic, and assess whether pre-pandemic resilience led to better outcomes during the period.
