2021
Abstract With a steady increase in the number of older people worldwide and a much higher percentage of older people as part of the overall population, we are on the verge of becoming a mass geriatric society. These gains in extra years are not only a prolongation of individual lives but also result in demographic transitions that will challenge economic, social, and geopolitical systems and chiefly our healthcare systems in many countries. Population aging calls for the reassessment of existing policies and programs, in order to ensure a fair distribution of rights, burdens, and responsibilities between generations and to give the opportunity to older people to live fully a phase of life t…

Equality-of-gains is close to maximin; executives may not accept to bargain. Relative-equality-of-gains allows executives and workers to obtain equal gains in percentage; executive compensation is not intolerably high to the price of a higher total payroll.

The parliamentary debate requires sufficient time but at the same time recognising that parliamentary time is always scarce, and a fair distribution of it between both items and members is necessary. Parliamentary politics shows therefore an extraordinary sensitivity for time. Parliamentary time is based on multiple rounds of debate as well as on a time order of parliamentary moves of different types. When used in p…
