| Sumario: | Ageing of the Population Issues
The author reviews the main issues arising from the ageing of the French population,
pointing out the challenge they represent to society as a whole. Future problems
concerning the family, employment, space, etc., as well as the “democratic risk” are
considered in the light of this demographic analysis. The author discusses the dogma of
the “longevity revolution” and shows the importance of the demographic approach,
particularly when determining the orientation of public policy. He points out the virtues
of an approach which not only gives priority to the fight against senility (by definition
individual), but also takes into consideration demographic necessities (by definition
collective). |
