dc.description.abstractThe missing link in the debate on the impact of population on economic growth is the e% ect of age structure (Bloom and Williamson, 1998). During the demographic transition from high fertility and high mortality to low fertility and low mortality, the age structure of the population undergoes unprecedented changes from a broad- based pyramid tapering at the top, to a shrinking base with an enlarged middle and a gradually expanding top. The age structure of a population has economic ramifications as children and the elderly consume more than they produce, while those in the prime working ages support not only their own consumption but also that of the economically dependent segments of society. Countries with shrinking numbers of children and large shares of working- age people can raise their rates of economic growth. This is referred to as the # rst demographic divi- dend or as the window of economic opportunity (Lee and Mason, 2006)...en
