F Coelli, P García Guzmán, & E Nilsson discuss the macroeconomic impacts of ageing & how many regions are getting older before getting richer. Policy solutions include labour force participation by women & older adults, tech for productivity, & increased migration. cepr.org/voxeu/column... #EconSky

Notes: Lines represent population-weighted averages. “Advanced economies” are those classified as high income by the World Bank’s income classification in 1990 with data available for 1870-2023. The “EBRD post-communist” grouping comprises 26 post-communist economies in the EBRD regions. SEMED comprises Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco and Tunisia. SSA comprises Benin, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria and Senegal.

With fertility rates falling and populations ageing worldwide, the impact of demographic change on economic prosperity has become a central policy concern. This column uses a neoclassical growth model to quantify the economic cost of ageing in the economies where the EBRD invests and beyond. It contrasts the headwinds facing emerging Europe with the potential demographic dividend in Central Asia and Africa, highlighting that rapid fertility declines are quickly narrowing this window of opportunity.
