The demographic dividend
Explained in 4 parts
Part 1: 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
Part 2: 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
Part 3 Dividend Period
•
•
•
For about a generation the country rapidly grows and prospers
Workers support fewer dependents
Country’s policies insure ample employment, investment opportunities, and
greater consumption
Part 4 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)

Growth of economy slows but continues

The demographic dividend in
words
The demographic dividend is a window of
opportunity in the development of a society or
nation that opens up as fertility rates decline when
faster 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.
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. For a
period of time this “bulge” is a burden on society and
increases the dependency ratio. Eventually this group
begins to enter the productive labor force. With
fertility rates continuing to fall and older generations
having shorter life expectancies, the dependency ratio
declines dramatically.
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]
