[Demographic change and state income support:  an incidence analysis].
"Starting from a simple, descriptive life-cycle model of individual income, an explicit link between the age composition of a population and the personal distribution of incomes is established. Demographic effects on income inequality are derived.  Next, two income maintenance programs are introduced:  a redistributive tax-transfer scheme and a pay-as-you-go financed state pension system.  The resulting government budget constraints entail interrelations between fiscal and demographic variables, causing an additional, indirect demographic impact on the distribution.  This is shown not only to change, but in some cases even to reverse the distributional incidence of demographic trends.  Several policy conflicts arise." (SUMMARY IN ENG)
