Abstract:

The possible social effects of demographic aging and eventual population decrease in West Germany are discussed, with a focus on the long-term effects after the year 2020. Consideration is given to the very aged, including health-care needs, migration, and living arrangements; the middle-aged population's labor force participation and the dependency burden; the young generation; and foreigners. Questions concerning future changes in societal values are also explored. (ANNOTATION)
