Abstract

Income Redistribution in the Aging Population

Population aging causes that the question of distribution of the current flow of goods and services produced in the economic process becomes more and more important. The possibilities in this scope are determined by relations between the dynamics of the number of economically active population, the number of pensioners and the volume of national income. The dependencies – which result from this – are the subject of analysis done by use of the inter-generational income redistribution model (MMRD), which has been developed by the author of this paper. The presented model shows the essence of the problem of social inter-generational transfers which – in the country regarded as a common good – should be interpreted as liabilities of pensioners and their repayment should assure elder people a decent level of existence. The presentation of the model has been done for several EU Member States on the basis of national and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) data.
