  1. Demographic Dividend The possible benefits of TEMPORARY Population Growth Spurt

  2. First take quiz & discuss

  3. Setting the Stage Globally: Start with Hans Rosling http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbkSRLYSojo Demographic Transition Egeo 312

  4. Effects of Population Growth: Does it effect Economic Growth??? • Pessimistic Approach • Optimistic • Nuetrualist

  5. First take quiz & discuss • What is the relationship between population growth rate and residual (or technological) growth rate? • That is does higher population growth lead to lower residual economic growth or not? Or does it have no effect?

  6. Pessimist Thomas Malthus Population Trap

  7. Optimist More people = more minds = more development

  8. Neutralist

  9. Neutralist Population Growth Rate does not determine residual economic growth rate (technological growth)

  10. Age Structure • Ignored • Need to understand relationship between • Age • Income • Consumption

  11. Age vs Income & Consumption • Demonstrates how income & consumption vary with age • Key is surplus during working age • Can go to support more kids • Can go to increase technology (capital input)

  12. Demographic Transition REVIEW of Theory

  13. Share working Grows if CBR slows

  14. The demographic dividendExplained in 4 parts Phase A: Preliminary Steps • Country enters Stage 2 of Demographic Transition • Results in large increase of children • Dependency ratio increases • Little to no change in elderly population life expectancy

  15. Phase B: Window of opportunity opens Mechanics of situation • Country enters Stage 3 of Demo. Trans. • Children decline as proportion of population (see diagram) • Dependency Ratio declines • Little to no change in elderly proportion Worker bulge appears (see diagram) Wise Country follows pro-development policies • Moves to creates Employment opportunities • Pursues international export strategy

  16. Phase C: Dividend Period • For about a generation the country rapidly grows and prospers • Workers support fewer dependents and tend to invest their growing surplus • Country’s policies insure ample employment, investment opportunities, and greater consumption

  17. Phase D: Window closes – but country developed • After a generation workers age and begin to retire • Stage 4 of Demographic transition entered • Dependency ratio climbs based mainly on elderly (see diagram) • As Dividend ends • Growth of economy slows but continues

  18. Review of China • Phase A – 1970 huge % of children, large dependency ratio • Phase B – 2000 economic miracle, dependency ratio shrinks as do children % • Phase C – 2015 Dividend remains strong, dependency ratio remains small, lots of surplus for investment & lots of workers • Phase D – 2045 Dividend has ended, lots of elderly, dependency ratio again large

  20. Only works if Country addresses • Investment in the people • Empowerment – people part of system • Voice (agency) in own lives • Choice in child bearing • Choice in joining workforce • Chance to accrue personal wealth (capital formation) • Education – skills • Employment – quantity & quality • Industrialization & Urbanization

  21. Countries at various parts of the Demographic Dividend

  22. The demographic dividend in words The demographic dividend is a window of opportunity in the development of a society passing through the demographic transition that opens up as fertility rates decline when faster (super charged) rates of economic growth and human development are possible when combined with effective policies and markets. The drop in fertility rates often follows significant reductions in child and infant mortality rates, as well as an increase in average life expectancy.

  23. The demographic dividend in words The demographic dividend is a window of opportunity • fertility rates decline due to economic growth • Demographic transition heads into stage 3 and eventually stage 4 • Super charged development possible when increased labor combined with effective policies and markets. • The drop in fertility rates follows reduced child/ infant mortality rates, • and increase in average life expectancy.

  24. As women and families realize that fewer children will die during infancy or childhood they will begin to have fewer children to reach their desired number of offspring. However, this drop in fertility rates is not immediate. The lag between produces a generational population bulge that surges through society. At first for a period of time this “bulge” is a burden on society and increases the dependency ratio (more kids). Eventually this group begins to enter the productive labor force. With fertility rates continuing to fall (headed towards stage 4 of Demo. Trans.) and older generations having shorter life expectancies, the dependency ratio declines dramatically.

  25. This demographic shift initiates the demographic dividend. With fewer younger dependents, due to declining fertility and child mortality rates, and fewer older dependents, due to the older generations having shorter life expectancies, and the largest segment of the population of productive working age, the dependency ratio declines dramatically leading to the demographic dividend. Combined with effective public policies this time period of the demographic dividend can help facilitate more rapid economic growth and puts less strain on families. This is also a time period when many women enter the labor force for the first time.[1] In many countries this time period has led to increasingly smaller families, rising income, and rising life expectancy rates.[2] However, dramatic social changes can also occur during this time, such as increasing divorce rates, postponement of marriage, and single-person households.[3]

  26. China: End of Demographic Dividend China’s Case One Child Policy More Kids Dip More Elderly

  27. Following Japan & China Peak Years of “Cheap & Pleantiful” Workerforce

  28. Africa’s Chance with the Demographic Dividend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-L3LrYJQi0

  29. What drives China’s Growth? • Reform and Restructuring • Urbanization and Industrialization • Demography Dividend and Education • Savings and Capital Formation • Globalization

  30. Reform and Restructuring From Communist to Socialist with Chinese Characteristics From Central Planning to Market Driven Economy From Closed-Door policy to Open-Door Policy From Dictatorship to “Centralized Democratic” Decision Making Privatization

  31. Centralized Democracy When Xi’s election was announced at the conference, the deputies to the People’s Congress of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region applauded enthusiastically. Xi’s election as a deputy to the NPC through a unanimous vote reflects the common will of more than 500 deputies to the autonomous region’s people’s congress and the willingness of more than 25 million people living on the grassland, and it is a vivid demonstration of more than 1.3 billion Chinese people’s loyalty toward the Party’s core and support for the people’s leader, a Xinhua News Agency report said.
