In the 21st century, the populations of the worlda (TM)s nations
will display large and long-lived changes in age structure. Many of
these began with fertility change and are amplified by declining
mortality and by migration within and between nations. Demography
will matter in this century not by force of numbers, but by the
pressures of waves of age structural change.
Many developing countries are in relatively early stages of
fertility decline and will experience age waves for two or more
generations. These waves create shifting flows of people into the
key age groups, greatly complicating the task of managing
development, from building human capabilities and creating jobs to
growing industry, infrastructure and institutions. In this book,
distinguished scientists examine key demographic, social, economic,
and policy aspects of age structural change in developing
economies.
This book provides a joint examination of dimensions of age
structural change that have often been considered in isolation from
each other (for example, education, job creation, land use,
health); it uses case studies to examine policy consequences and
options and develops qualitative and formal methods to analyze the
dynamics and consequences of age structural change.
