1.  Title: Living happily ever after: the economic implications of aging societies. Fact sheet. Author: World Economic Forum. Pension Readiness Initiative; Watson Wyatt Worldwide Source: Reigate, England, Watson Wyatt Worldwide, 2004. [3] p. Abstract: Due to medical advances, life expectancy is increasing rapidly and will likely continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Meanwhile, fertility rates in most of the world are declining. Because these trends are much more exaggerated in the developed world than in the developing world, general population aging and the decreasing of labor-force growth trends are occurring at increasingly varied rates in different regions of the globe. This will have a profound impact on the distribution of the global work force in the coming decades.
