| Publisher Description: Intergenerational justice is the concept of a fair distribution of burdens and benefits between non-contemporaries, for one generation shall not to live and operate at the expense of the next. The book deals with the challenges of demographic change and intergenerational justice in particular and is characterized by its interdisciplinary approach. The authors come from a multitude of professional backgrounds and several countries. This allows a look at the implications of the demographic shift from many different perspectives and to deal not only with the aspects of economic policy but also with environmental, societal and philosophical issues. The comprehensive volume is composed of five sections that point up demographic trends, examine the impact of demographic changes on key indicators, investigate the relationship between key indicators and intergenerational justice, scrutinize intergenerational justice and population policies, and finally forecast long-term thinking on these issues. |
