【讲座摘要】
Both Korea and the United States made formidable investments in public education as the baby boom generations came of age and both nations harnessed demographic dividends as fertility declined. Population aging poses new challenges for national prosperity because the social safety nets for children and seniors are highly unequal and the share of the federal budget allocated to youth has been diminishing. The U.S. demographic experience, which now involves unprecedent diversification has important lessons for other nations, like China, whose rapid fertility decline has accelerated population aging.
