摘要：

For the first time in the history of humanity, our species as a whole is growing older. Toward the middle of the next century the population will stabilize near the practical limit of human longevity. Instead of focusing only on explosive growth, as in the past, policymakers must also rethink many social and economic institutions so that they will address the needs of an older population.
