The paper attempts to examine the socio-economic determinants of life expectancy for 91 developing countries using multiple regression and probit frameworks. Disaggregated probit regression has been applied for three groups of countries with low, medium and high life expectancy. Most of explanatory variables turned out to be statistically insignificant, which imply that relevant socio-economic factors like per capita income, education, health expenditure, access to safe water, and urbanization cannot always be considered to be influential in determining life expectancy in developing countries. Based on the analyses it has been suggested that the countries should formulate and implement appropriate social sector policies and programs to increase physicians' availability, and reduce adult...

The purpose of this study is to discover if occupational preferences have any bearing on whether, or not, individuals decide to pursue entrepreneurial careers. Specifically, this paper seeks to determine if cognitive occupational expectancies (concerning perceived intrinsic and extrinsic occupational rewards) significantly influence plans to undertake entrepreneurship as a primary vocation. Past theory has determined relevant entrepreneurial rewards to be the intrinsic reward of independence, the intrinsic reward of a satisfying way of life, and the extrinsic reward of profit. Preference for each of these rewards is examined by utilizing the Valence Model of the Expectancy Theory. Findings indicate that individuals who perceive entrepreneurship as advantageous based on their attraction ...

William G. Shipman's Tuesday Commentary column, "Raising retirement age won't work," mentioned that life expectancy has increased from 61 years to 78 since the 1935 start of Social Security. In an otherwise informative piece, these figures are irrelevant to the author's main point. Much of this increase in life expectancy can be credited to the virtual elimination of childhood diseases and has no effect on the number of years a person can be expected to collect Social Security. Only the life expectancy at retirement age is meaningful. While this also has increased, the increase was easily predictable in 1935 based on available mortality statistics. The failure to include them as a cost factor was even one of the main Republican objections.

Munnell and Soto's (2007) work on the optimal age to initiate Social Security benefits for couples is extended to a model that adds withdrawals from private savings to Social Security benefits. Optimal retirement age is found to be a function of savings and the rate of return on those savings. Savings with zero or minimal return reduce or eliminate the motivation for postponing retirement. As the rate of return on those savings rises, delay becomes increasingly beneficial. A reduction in savings at retirement can result in several years of delay in retirement to achieve prior expected income with greater delays a function of the portion of expected retirement income to be derived from savings.

The good news is we are living longer than ever before. The bad news is it's going to cost us. As global fertility rates grow more slowly and increasing prosperity enhances life expectancy, a complicated side effect has emerged: big chunks of the world are starting to look like geriatric wards. It is uncertain how the world will pay for them.
