Abstract

We propose a new measure of population ageing, and introduce a new condition called the working-age principle, which is a sensitivity condition to the “thickness” of the working-age population. Then, we characterize our measure by working-age principle and the other standard axioms. We also applied our measure to compute the degree of ageing in China, Japan, Niue, and Singapore, highlighting its importance in capturing the thickness of the labor force.

期刊介绍： The international, interdisciplinary journal Mathematical Social Sciences publishes original research articles, survey papers, short notes and book reviews. The journal emphasizes the unity of mathematical modelling in economics, psychology, political sciences, sociology and other social sciences. Topics of particular interest include the fundamental aspects of choice, information, and preferences (decision science) and of interaction (game theory and economic theory), the measurement of utility, welfare and inequality, the formal theories of justice and implementation, voting rules, cooperative games, fair division, cost allocation, bargaining, matching, social networks, and evolutionary and other dynamics models. Papers published by the journal are mathematically rigorous but no bounds, from above or from below, limits their technical level. All mathematical techniques may be used. The articles should be self-contained and readable by social scientists trained in mathematics.
