Introduction | Analyzing population ageing and intergenerational redistribution: NTA and AGENTA | Research Articles | Welfare state winners and losers in ageing societies | Intergenerational inequalities in mortality-adjusted disposable incomes | Welfare state and the age distribution of public consumption and public transfers in the EU countries | Extending working life: experiences from Sweden, 1981–2011 | Historical patterns of unpaid work in Europe: NTTA results by age and gender | Italians’ use of time during the economic crisis: implications for the gender division of labour | Transfers of informal care time in the United States: the role of demographic differentials in intergenerational flows by age, sex, and racial and national background | Data Section | European National (Time) Transfer Accounts

This special issue explores the impacts of population aging and intergenerational redistribution, with a focus on the European Union through the lens of the National Transfer Accounts (NTA) and AGENTA projects. It examines how demographic transitions, such as declining fertility and increasing longevity, influence economic dependency ratios and support systems. Utilizing harmonized data from Eurostat, it highlights variations in public and private transfers across countries and delves into policy challenges posed by aging populations. The issue emphasizes the role of intergenerational transfers, including time and gender dynamics, in addressing the economic and social pressures of aging.

The 2018 issue of the Vienna Yearbook of Population Research, “Broadening demographic horizons”, presents a selected set of papers that move beyond the traditional focus on age and sex structures of the population. It covers concepts and developments related to multi-regional, multi-state and probabilistic population projections; population projections by education and labour force status; and causal models of migration. The articles discuss the complexity of the demographic transition and its links with educational transition and urbanisation processes, and the need for a multidimensional context when analysing the relationship between fertility intentions and outcomes. The issue aims to further broaden the understanding of the consequences of demographic change by discussing differences in life expectancy and economic activity in the light of pension reforms and projected economic dependency ratios.

Authors for this volume | Introduction | Health, education, and retirement over the prolonged life cycle: a selective survey of recent research | Refereed Articles | What can reverse causation tell us about demographic differences in the social network and social support determinants of self-rated health in later life? | The effect of retirement on self-reported health: a gender comparison in Italy | Real wage and labor supply in a quasi life-cycle framework: a macro compression by Swedish National Transfer Accounts (1985-2003) | Working after age 50 in Spain. Is the trend towards early retirement reversing? | Retirement and leisure: a longitudinal study using Swedish data | More with less: the Almost Ideal Pension Systems (AIPS) | How large are the effects of population aging on economic inequality?

This special issue explores the impacts of health, education, and retirement across the prolonged life cycle, reflecting on recent research. It includes articles analyzing how demographic factors affect health in later life, the gendered effects of retirement on health, and changes in labour supply. The articles highlight the evolving relationship between work, retirement, and well-being in an aging society. The issue also examines macroeconomic factors such as real wages, pension systems, and the effects of population aging on economic inequality.
