Life expectancy in Germany - a look into the future

Author

  • Eckart Bomsdorf

Abstract

Life expectancy in Germany is increasing continuously. This increase is one of the main factors of demographic change. The other reason for this development is the low number of births. Presently, every parent generation reproduces itself by only two thirds. In this article Eckart Bomsdorf, University of Cologne, models German population development for the coming years and discusses the impact of these changes on the social insurance systems.
