婴儿潮与人口高龄化对美国经济的影响

Influence of Baby Boomer and Population Aging on the US Economy

婴儿潮时代与其他世代相比较具有非常突出的特点及相当大的影响力。他们逐渐隐退并脱离劳动市场,其结果有可能会比预期的更加严重。首先,劳动市场会出现供需不均现象;其次庞大的金融资产将会转移。不仅如此,对消费市场也会产生一定的影响。深刻理解随着对国家经济产生重大影响的婴儿潮时代逐渐高龄化而引起的问题点,对数十年后将要经历类似问题的发展中国家的经济开发计划具有深远意义。

Baby boomer generation has been one of the most unique and influential age groups of all time. As they are retiring and gradually exiting from the labor force, the consequences may be more significant than one would anticipate. Their retirement will likely cause labor shortage not only in the US but also internationally. Substantial portion of financial assets will be shifted. And it is very likely that the consumer markets will experience changes as well. As many countries have, or are expected to have in the near future, the similar problems, understanding the consequences of aging generation that has significant influences in a country economy is vital for the future economic plan of many developing countries that will face the similar situation in next few decades.
