Del rejuvenecimiento al envejecimiento de la población ¿o viceversa?: Chile en el contexto de América Latina, 1950-2050

“…El trabajo seminal de Coale y Hoover (1958) fue seguido por Leff (1969), Gupta (1971), Goldberger (1973, Kelley (1973) y Arthur y McNicoll (1977), y retomado en los años noventa por Higgins y Williamson (1997), Andersson (2001), Lindh y Malmberg (1999), Brander y Dowrick (1994, Bloom y Williamson (1998), Bloom, Canning y Sevilla (2003) y Reher (2011.
