Title Public policy, demographic aging and families
Date 1998
Description Voodoo demographics, a term coined by American economist James Schulz in the late 1980s, describes the belief that aging populations pose threats to life and society as we know it, particularly to social safety nets, education, public health care, as well as challenges to families. Surprisingly, the oldest societies in the world, in Europe, do not see demographic aging as strongly worrisome.
