Terms of Reference

This committee address issues surrounding a variety of kinds of Public programs, from pensions and medical care through poverty programs, family allowances and education. This topic does not include individual aging, health status, longevity, and disability that will be covered by a separate committee. Other relevant topics are changing age distribution and political choice (do the elderly vote for pensions at the expense of child welfare?); issues surrounding forecasting for government expenditure; whether declining proportion of children in the population leads to savings which help offset the cost of aging; consequences of fluctuation versus secular change.
