摘要

The document, authored by Silvana Krause, João Cardoso L. Camargos, and Rafael Fonseca, explores the impact of population aging on satisfaction with democracy in Latin America. It highlights that improvements in healthcare have led to increased life expectancy and a growing elderly population. The study employs a multilevel analysis using individual data from the Latinobarómetro survey and country-level demographic data from CEPAL across eight Latin American countries. The findings suggest that an increase in the elderly population correlates with higher dissatisfaction with democracy, particularly among younger cohorts affected by economic pressures. The research underscores the need for further investigation into how demographic changes influence democratic support.
