Demographic stabilization

The adjustment of social security systems – especially health insurance, pension insurance and long-term care insurance – to the aging of the population. This affects monetary policy insofar as the burdens of aging would otherwise have an impact on the value of money, and because long-term investments may already not be made today. – See old-age dependency ratio, aging effect, foreign investment, demographic, dissaving, budgetary gimmicks, Methuselah syndrome, sustainability, Lisbon agenda, risk aversion, reserve depletion, shadow debt, Stability and Growth Pact, stagnation, secular, over-indebtedness, senescence. – Cf.
