Our societies are witnessing a steady increase in longevity. This demographic evolution is accompanied by some … convergence across countries, whereas substantial longevity inequalities persist within nations. The goal of this paper is to … survey some crucial implications of changing longevity on the design of optimal public policy. For that purpose, we firstly …

public intervention depends on the extra-productivity of public spendings in longevity, its optimal structure is determined … by (1) differences in the productivity of each policy; (2) how growth would influence each longevity aspect under laissez …-faire; (3) the dependence of each longevity aspect on past achievements. Given competing effects, the optimal intervention can …
