Theoretical and policy perspectives on the taxation of pension, viewed in an international context. Policy makers and academic researchers have been preoccupied in recent decades with the design of pension schemes and effective pension system reform. Relatively little attention has been given to the taxation of pensions and, more broadly, the provision of retirement income. In this book, experts from a range of countries explore the interconnection. Their contributions are especially timely, given recent demographic and political developments including population aging that lengthens the time between contribution payment and benefit receipt, the mobility of capital and labor brought about by...
Pensions are under scrutiny worldwide in view of increasing life expectancy and adverse demographics. This volume offers an overview of unfunded individual accounts introduced in the mid-1990s in Italy, Latvia, Poland and Sweden in order to assure a successful adulthood and an even better start for the off-springs.
Worldwide life expectancy has increased and, as such, this book examines different aspects of aging from societal and political perspectives. Written by reputable academics working at universities around the world (Australia, New Zealand, Portugal, Taiwan, Tanzania, Russia), this book takes a kaleidoscope view of how different societies handle their aging population.
This book provides theoretical and applied material for estimating vital parts of demography and health issues including the healthy aging process along with calculating the healthy life years lost to disability. It further includes the appropriate methodology for the optimum health expenditure allocation. Through providing data analysis, statistical and stochastic methodology, probability approach and important applications, the book explores topics such as aging and mortality, birth-death processes, self-perceived age, life-time and survival as well as pension and labor-force. By providing a methodological approach to health problems in demography and society including and quantifying important parameters, this book is a valuable guide for researchers, theoreticians and practitioners from various disciplines.
The cooperation and contamination among mathematicians, statisticians and econometricians working in actuarial sciences and finance are improving the research on these topics and producing numerous meaningful scientific results. This volume presents new ideas in the form of four- to six-page papers presented at the International Conference MAF2022 – Mathematical and Statistical Methods for Actuarial Sciences and Finance. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the conference, to which this book is related, was organized in a hybrid form by the Department of Economics and Statistics of the University of Salerno, with the partnership of the Department of Economics of Cà Foscari University of Venice, ...

Durante cerca de dois anos – entre 2017 e 2018 – um grupo de Autores, a convite da Cidadania Social, escreveu livremente para o jornal Público sobre temas que se colocam à economia e à sociedade, designadamente o envelhecimento, o idadismo, a educação, o emprego, a saúde, a segurança social, a solidariedade, o território, a economia, as finanças públicas e o desenvolvimento sustentável, entre outros. Nestes textos são apresentados e identificados desafios com os quais a economia e a sociedade estão confrontadas no médio e no longo prazos, a que se juntam diagnósticos, ideias, reflexões e propostas de medidas políticas de grande atualidade. Com o rigor e o saber que lhes ...
Um livro sobre literacia financeira em Portugal, tal como o ISCTE consegue apresentar, torna-se num instrumento poderoso para promover a educação financeira dos portugueses, para melhorar a sua qualidade de vida, a sua inclusão social e o seu desenvolvimento económico. Este livro não é contra ninguém. É pelos portugueses e por Portugal. E é apenas mais um contributo. Espera-se que muito mais possa ser feito a partir daqui.
