"This book is the first to take a comprehensive view of the challenges that population ageing present in the near future taking Sweden as the case ... The fact that it is difficult to make health care dependent on personal contributions, as is the case of the pension system, funding of health care is a true test of solidarity across generations. The book ends with a discussion on whether the demographic challenge to the welfare system is also a threat to the welfare state as such." (Quoted from product description)
