This paper uses an applied general equilibrium model to assess the effects on the viability of the Spanish social security system of changes in demographics, focusing on the balanced growth path. First we suppose that the population growth rate is zero, then we simulate the effects of several...

The decline in birth rate and increasing life expectancy are the key factors that explain the demographic process in Galicia and its most immediate consequence is the aging of its population.
