title: Demographic aging in the United States:  implications for population and income redistribution to the year 2000.
abstract: "The purpose of this paper is to analyze the effects of a prolonged period of sustained low fertility upon shifts in the population distribution of the United States among Department of Energy (DOE) regions."  The authors also examine the impact of demographic aging on income distribution up to the year 2000 using the assumptions made in the Series III population projections prepared by the U.S. Bureau of the Census in 1977.  It is noted that migration will emerge as the primary agent for internal population redistribution.
