Demographic transition, along with the economic and geopolitical
re-emergence of Asia, are two of the largest forces shaping the
twenty-first century, but little is known about the implications
for innovation. The countries of East Asia have some of the oldest
age structures on the planet: between now and 2050, the population
that is age 65 and older will increase to more than one in four
Chinese, and to more than one in three Japanese and Koreans. Other
economies with younger populations, like India, face the challenge
of fully harnessing the "demographic dividend" from large cohorts
in the working ages. This book delves into how such demographic
changes shape the supply of innovation and the demand for specific
kinds of innovation in the Asia-Pacific. Social scientists from
Asia and the United States offer multidisciplinary perspectives
from economics, demography, political science, sociology, and
public policy; topics range from the macroeconomic effects of
population age structure, to the microeconomics of technology and
the labor force, to the broader implications for human well-being.
Contributors analyze how demography shapes productivity and the
labor supply of older workers, as well as explore the aging
population as consumers of technologies and drivers of innovations
to meet their own needs, as well as the political economy of
spatial development, agglomeration economies, urban-rural
contrasts, and differential geographies of aging.
