A few months ago I was reading something that referred to a mainstream
economist who has posited that much of the economic growth of the 20th
century in the western world has come as a result of longer lives.
The basic idea is that longer life has allowed greater worker
accumulation of skills and experience which have in turn benefited the
economy.
Does anyone know which economist this is or have a reference to his
work?
thanks,
mez
