Over the next 50 years almost all the countries of the OECD are will experience a dramatic ageing of their population structures. This process will affect the burden, in terms of taxes or social security contributions, placed on active members of the population. If no changes occur in the (relative) level of benefits, the age of retirement, female participation rates, the level of unemployment, or the level of immigration: then the total burden of support by the active members of the population for the inactive and dependent will rise very considerably. This paper attempts to place broad magnitudes on the amount of the potential increase. The analysis goes on to ask: what if changes should occur in the underlying parameters such as benefits rates, retirement age, female participation, unemployment rates, immigration?
