At the core of the so-called "generational equity" construct is the notion that older persons exercise self-interested political power. This article examines what we know about one element of the politics of aging--the voting behavior of older persons in recent presidential elections--and suggests areas of research on the 1992 election that may tell us something about how far, and how soon, proponents of generational equity will be able to move toward dismantling policies that benefit older people.
所谓“代际公平”理念的核心是认为老年人行使的是出于自身利益的政治权力。本文审视了我们对老龄化政治的一个要素——老年人在近期总统选举中的投票行为——的了解，并提出了对1992年选举的研究领域，这些领域可能会告诉我们，代际公平的支持者在废除有利于老年人的政策方面能够走多远、多快。
