Insurance Markets for the Elderly

No 20549, NBER Working Papers from National Bureau of Economic Research, Inc

Abstract: We describe the risks faced by the ageing population and survey the corresponding insurance markets for these risks. We focus on income risk, health expenditure risk, long-term care expenditure risk and mortality risk. We also discuss the interactions between social insurance and private insurance markets.
