Chapter 1 in Unequal Ageing in Europe, 2015, pp 1-14 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Ageing as a challenge for all societies has been known to exist for more than a generation; the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) produced an authoritative study warning of population ageing in 1980 (OECD, 1981). Awareness of impending changes spread, first to the policy community, then to policymakers; it thus motivated a number of reforms through the world, adjusting institutions to cope with a changing reality.
