	SocioSite: DEMOGRAPHY - POPULATION STUDIES
		Demography is a broad social science discipline concerned with the study of human populations, primary with respect to their size, their structure and their development.
		The field of demography is also concerned with the broader nature of social and economic change, and with the impact of demographics change on the natural environment.
		The model is based on the methodology of multistate demography, but includes several extensions to solve the particular problems of household modelling.

		This indicator corresponds conceptually to life expectancy, which is used in demography, in the sense that it measures the time that a person of given age is expected to be working in the future assuming that disability, morbidity and mortality prevail at the current level.
		At time of the third survey when the persons were 55-69 years old, 18% of them were still working, 5% did not respond to the questionnaire but were not on pension, 30% were on disability pension, 41% belonged to the group 'other alive' (students, conscripts, unemployed, old-age retirees etc.), and 6% had died.
		Hence Finland faces a future of dwindling numbers of employed who will have to pay for the increased costs of health care and social security of the expanding retired population.
