摘要：One of the greatest success stories in our societies is that people are living longer,
life expectancy at birth being now above 80 years. Whereas the lengthening of life
opens huge opportunities for individuals if extra years are spent in prosperity and
good health, it is however often regarded as a source of problems for policy-
makers. The goal of this paper is to examine the key policy challenges raised by
increasing longevity. For that purpose, we first pay attention to the representation
of individual preferences, and to the normative foundations of the economy, and,
then, we consider the challenges raised for the design of the social security system ,
pension policies, preventive health policies, the provision of long term care, as well
as for long- run economic growth.
