Over the next few decades, global aging promises to affect every dimension of the economy and society.?Perhaps most fatefully, it could throw into question the ability of many countries to provide a decent standard of living for the old without imposing a crushing burden on the young.?Which countries are most prepared to meet the challenge? And which countries are least prepared?
