Chapter 2. The Demography of an Aging Asia 14

NUMERICAL AND PROPORTIONATE GROWTH OF ASIA'S OLDER POPULATION 14

The number of older Asians will nearly triple over the next 4 decades 14

Even more dramatic than the rising numbers of older Asians will be the increased proportions of people aged 65 and older 14

DRIVERS OF POPULATION AGING-LOW FERTILITY AND LOW MORTALITY 16

Asia has experienced a rapid demographic transition from higher to lower birth and death rates 16

Birth rates-just how low can they go? 20

Lower birth rates result in fewer children today and fewer mothers tomorrow 25

Lower mortality results in more people living to older ages, especially women 25

POPULATION AGE STRUCTURE AND OLD-AGE DEPENDENCY RATIOS 29

Median age in Eastern Asia is projected to rise well past the typical childbearing ages 29

The ratio of the older population to those at working ages will continue to increase 29

Chapter 3. Work, Income, and Retirement 35

LABOR FORCE PARTICIPATION AND OTHER INCOME SOURCES 35

Labor force participation differs widely by region, between men and women, and across older age groups 35

The lowest labor force participation rates for women are concentrated in Western Asia and Southern Asia, with considerable diversity within the same regions 36

Education is positively associated with labor force participation, but in some high-income Asian countries, women with higher-education work far less than expected 39

As societies develop, the main source of income for older Asians typically shifts from own income and dependence on children to other sources of support 42

OLD-AGE SOCIAL SECURITY SYSTEMS IN ASIA 43

Although old-age security systems exist throughout Asia, their provisions and coverage vary widely based on each country's age structure, development,... 44

Statutory pension ages tend to rise as longevity improves, with pensions funded by payroll tax contributions from both employees and employers 47

COVERAGE AND WAGE REPLACEMENT OF OLD-AGE SOCIAL SECURITY PENSIONS 48

The proportion of the older people covered by mandatory old-age pensions varies widely throughout Asia and reflects urbanization, occupational patterns,... 48

How well do pensions replace earnings? Higher coveragevs. lower replacement rates 49

Most Asian countries have progressive net replacement rates across income levels, and sex differences tend to disappear in higher income countries 50

Chapter 4. Health and Health Care 55

HEALTHY LIFE EXPECTANCY AT AGE 60 IN ASIA 55

The extra years of life gained were not necessarily lived in good health 55

Most Asian countries had gains in HALE60, with considerable differences based on country wealth 56

NONCOMMUNICABLE DISEASES AND THE BURDEN OF MULTIMORBIDITY 57

Total deaths for older Asians attributable to noncommunicable diseases have risen in last 2 decades. 57

Median age of onset of NCDs has been getting younger in some Asian countries 61

Some Asian countries are showing positive shifts in risk factor behaviors 62

Concurrent infectious and noninfectious diseases pose challenges of multimorbidity 62

AGE-RELATED DISABILITY IN ASIA 64

Increases in NCDs may cause considerable cognitive and physical impairments and disability 64

Living alone may lead to social isolation and is associated with multimorbidity among older Asians 71

Adult children who live with their parents might serve as a potential pool of caregivers for older people needing assistance 71

HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS 72

Health systems readiness differs widely across Asia 72

Overall gains have been achieved in health care access and quality in the past 3 decades but gaps among Asian countries exist. 73

Lower income countries face more challenges financing health systems and care 74
