OECD Economic Outlook

2006, vol. 2006, no. 1

OECD Economic Outlook No. 79: May 2006 - Preliminary Edition (Complete Edition - ISBN 9264018379)

Abstract

Twice a year, the OECD Economic Outlook analyses the major trends and examines the economic policies required to foster high and sustainable growth in member countries. Developments in major non-OECD economies are also evaluated. The present issue covers the outlook to end-2007. Together with a wide range of cross-country statistics, the Outlook provides a unique tool to keep abreast of world economic developments.
In addition to the themes featured regularly, this issue contains a special chapter on Future Budget Pressures Arising from Spending on Health and Long-Term Care, which addresses the following questions:
How much will ageing boost public health and long-term care expenditures over the next 50 years?
What other factors influence spending and how are they likely to evolve?
Which role could policies play in containing future spending pressures?
