Abstract: 

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the interaction among
longevity, fertility, social security, and economic growth. We use an
endogenous growth model with AK technology and dynastic families. We show
firstly that population aging has no effect on capital accumulation in the
case of operative bequest, secondly that the effect on fertility 
depends on a degree of altruism, and finally that the existence of
the pay-as-you-go social security is not always a burden to economic growth.
