This study explores the extent of intergenerational resource allocation in Maldives, using the National Transfer Accounts (NTA) methodology. The NTA methodology measures some important features of intergenerational resource allocation at the aggregate level, in a manner consistent with National Income and Product Accounts. The NTA estimates economic flows from one age group or generation to another and year to year, thereby giving policymakers valuable information with which to design national frameworks for public policies. The results of this study can shed light on several issues: the implications of population aging; changes in public and private financing of education, health, and pensions; women’s full contributions to the economy; and human capital needs.
