Population ageing and public finance targets - Heikki Oksanen pdf (270 kB) Choose translations of the previous link 

The paper incorporates intergenerational fairness into a framework to analyse long-term sustainability of public finances under population ageing.

It establishes a link between ageing-related public expenditure projections and public finance targets, thereby clarifying the connection between pension reforms and general government budget balance and debt targets.
