Age structure of the population in Belgium and social security.
The effects of demographic aging and of various socioeconomic factors on the social security system in Belgium are explored.  "Special attention is given to the impact of the ageing of the population on the pension problem.  Based on a simple formula a series of percentages of taxation have been calculated as a function of shifts in the proportion of retired vs. active population and in the proportion of the average income vs. the average amount of pension.  One of the conclusions is that the progressive ageing of the population will become the most significant factor in the growth of social expenditures."
