How will aging nations pay for their retirees?

If governments rack up debt to support their senior citizens, inflation may be here to stay As the world’s population crosses 8 billion, it’s getting older. On average, the bloom of youth came around 1970, when the median age of the world was roughly 21; by 2100, that figure will have climbed to 41 or 42.

With one of the world's oldest populations and low birth and employment rates, Italy...

Chile’s Pension Reform May Decide Boric’s Fate

The proposed reform has kept a private component that was initially shunned by the president. For much of the last eight months, President Gabriel Boric was waiting for a new constitution to be approved before introducing major reforms. It appears the government was counting on the new constitution, produced over the course of a year by a constitutional convention, to provide major definitions on things like health care, education and pensions. But a funny thing happened to the constitution: Chileans didn’t...
