- Summary:
- Mexico is currently undergoing a significant demographic change owing to a declining birthrate and advancements in living conditions, health care, and technology that have increased life expectancy for older persons in Mexico. The present day offers a unique opportunity to reform and adapt social security, saving, health care, and employment policies before the Mexican Baby Boom Generation begins to retire in 2040. To be able to do so, one needs to start with taking stock of the current situation. This study describes the income security, health status, and health care coverage of older persons in Mexico, and presents policy recommendations that may lead to further exploration of specific options.
