The normative implications of the longevity transition
- Abstract:
- This paper explores some of the normative implications of changes in the age profile of longevity improvements. The discussion assumes that in many ageing societies there is still a sense of collective ambivalence about the benefits conferred by continuing longevity increases. Different approaches are considered to making a collective reckoning of the benefits conferred by continuing longevity gains when the age profile of these gains is undergoing profound change. The requirement to make such reckonings raises novel normative problems for policy.
