National inclusion accounts: a tool to promote intergenerational equity
What if there was more fairness in society and, for those in greater need, education, healthcare and pensions were more accessible?
These are questions national inclusion accounts (NIAs) try to answer, while seeking to address inequity as economies grow and populations age.
The Asia-Pacific region has experienced rapid socioeconomic development and demographic change over recent decades. Currently, more people of different ages are living together for longer than ever before, reshaping both opportunities and challenges for intergenerational solidarity.
