- W3152167768 abstract "the nordic countries are already very ‘aged’ societies, and are set to witness further population ageing in the future. In global comparison, Sweden, Finland and denmark have the 4th, 6th and 11th highest proportions of people aged 60 and over in their populations (united nations 2010: 7). Sweden is currently one of only five countries in the world where people aged 80 and over account for more than 5 per cent of the total population (ibid.: 25). by 2050, the proportion of the population aged 65 and over is predicted to exceed one quarter in Finland, norway and denmark, and to pass the 30 per cent mark in Sweden (united nations 2002). the nordic countries are widely seen as forming a ‘family’ or a ‘regime’ of welfare states that is characterized by extensive redistribution, high legitimacy for public welfare provision, universal (citizenshipbased) and earningsrelated social rights, and comparatively low levels of inequality (kautto 2010). they are also argued to share normative foundations in the form of widespread support for policies that foster equality of opportunities, a high degree of equality of outcomes, and gender equality (kildal and kuhnle 2005). In the area of benefits and services for older people, this translates into pension systems that cover the entire older population at a relatively generous benefit level (kautto 2012), and longterm care systems that grant older adults with disabilities the right to public assistance. Szebehely (2011: 215) states that the hallmark of the nordic ‘service state’ is extensive provision of highquality services that are taken up by all sections of the population, rich and poor alike. What happens when population ageing and extensive welfare state provisions coincide? are these comparatively ‘generous’ welfare states sustainable when confronted with such aged populations and further population ageing? the key word in the question posed above is ‘sustainability’, a concept that can be understood in many ways and that has no single agreed definition in the literature. Sustainable development is generally understood to encompass economic, social and environmental sustainability (see, e.g., Sen 2009). ‘economic sustainability’ usually refers to the sound management of public finances. In the eu, longterm sustainability is assessed by calculating the ‘sustainability gap’. this can be defined as the adjustment required in public finances for covering the debt in the initial year and the aggregate present value of future surpluses and deficits in public finances over the period analysed. the eu also uses another sustainability indicator that reveals the fiscal adjustment needed to meet the Stability and growth Pact’s maximum debt target of 60 per cent of gdP. Spelling out the concept of ‘social sustainability’, kautto (2011) sees basic rights, fairness, intergenerational justice and legitimacy as its component parts. often policy reforms are justified by economic necessities, but if they are carried out in a socially" @default.
