Conference Paper

The impact of demographic change on U. S. labor markets: discussion


Abstract: I enjoyed reading this paper, particularly so because I was writing a paper on aging and its impacts on the German labor market at the very same time that Jane Little and Robert Triest were developing their paper. Their interesting, broad-based, and thoughtful analysis has a decidedly American point of view. My main duty as a discussant, therefore, is to compare their analysis and their projections with a European perspective.
