Age Structural Transition and Economic Growth: Evidence from South and Southeast Asia
Published By: CDS on eSS | Published Date: August, 04 , 2002Age structural transition is a process and a consequence of shifting
age structure from a young aged population to old aged population. It is
well known that economic growth in the East Asian countries was
significantly contributed by demographic gift, that is decline in young
aged population and increase in working aged population. However,
little is known about the role of age structure changes on economic
growth in the context of South and Southeast Asia. In this paper an
attempt has been made to study the nature and process of age structural
transition in the countries of South (Bangladesh, India and Sri Lanka)
and Southeast Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and
Thailand). Further, this paper also attempts to study the influence of age
structure changes on the economic growth in these countries. [Working Paper No. 337]
