Special Issue on: Population Ageing and Intergenerational Redistribution
The Vienna Yearbook of Population Research has been published by the Vienna Institute of Demography of the Austrian Academy of Sciences since 2003. The Yearbook features peer-reviewed research articles addressing population trends as well as a broad range of theoretical and methodological issues in population research, particularly those relevant to developments in Austria. It also provides a scientific outlet for the demographic research community in the Vienna area and aims to bring its work to the attention of the international scientific community. In addition to research articles, the journal also publishes Demographic Debates featuring invited contributions on topics related to the ongoing scientific debates in population research. Finally, contributions on Data & Trends map long-term developments as well as recent trends in various components of population change in Austria and in Europe.
The most recent volume (2019, Volume 17) of the Vienna Yearbook of Population Research has been published online first in autumn 2019.
This special issue of the Vienna Yearbook contains research articles derived from the EU-funded AGENTA project (http://www.agenta-project.eu), which uses and extends the methods of the National Transfer Accounts (NTA) project to shed light on the ways in which the families and governments of Europe draw on the earnings of the working-age population to support both children and older people. The eight contributions focus on support systems, intergenerational inequalities, diversity in welfare state structures, heterogeneity in retirement age by social groups, unpaid household work, changes in time transfers across time and across social groups and the European National (Time) Transfer Accounts data.
