This presentation, delivered at the Chatham House conference “Advancing Economic Growth: Investing in Health,” covers:

1. How health and demography limit the development prospects for post-Socialist Europe;
   
2. How post-Socialist Europe’s demography is increasingly determined by a pervasive population decline brought on by crashing fertility and extreme population aging;
   
3. And how these problems are tied to premature mortality and other health problems.
