Population Trends and Development John Bongaarts Population Council

Outline Background: population and fertility trends Consequences of demographic trends Policy options

Population growth rates

1.High fertility/growth 2. Intermediate fertility/growth 3. Low fertility/growth

Group 1 Demographic consequences of high fertility Rapid population growth Young age structure

Group1: Consequences of High fertility and rapid population growth Governmental: Lagging investment in education, health services and infrastructure Economic: Low wages, unemployment, poverty Environmental: Depletion of natural resources, pollution Political: Rising political unrest and crime Health: High maternal and child mortality

Group 2: Intermediate/ declining fertility Declining population growth rates Fewer young people, more workers Demographic dividend

Population by age: Mexico

Demographic Dividend: Boosts growth in GDP/cap by raising 1) Relative size of workforce 2) Women’s participation in paid labor force 3) Investments in human and physical capital

Developed world Demographic Dividend Developing world

Group 2: Consequences of Intermediate/declining fertility Governmental: Large investments in education, health services and infrastructure Economic: Demographic dividend Environmental: Depletion of natural resources, air, water and soil pollution Political: Inequality and disaffected voters Health: Declining maternal and child mortality

Group 3: Low fertility Near zero or negative population growth rates Rapid population aging

Population by age: Italy

Group 3: Consequences of low fertility Economic Unsustainable health and pension costs Rising governmental budget deficits Political Rising voting power of the elderly Slower economic growth Slower growth in GDP/cap Slower growth in worker productivity (?) Governmental Environmental High GHG emissions and consumption of natural resources

Developing world Developed world

A.High fertility countries B.Very low fertility countries Policy options :

Family planning programs to reduce unplanned pregnancies Investments in human capital (e.g. girls education) A. Policy options in high fertility countries:

Trends in international assistance for population activities ?

Recent return of interest in Population and FP 1)Population of Sub-Saharan Africa expected to double by 2040 despite AIDS epidemic 2) Environmental concerns return: global warming, spikes in food and energy prices 3)Economists (re)discover the demographic dividend 4)Concern about political and socio-economic consequences of large number of unemployed youth

B. Policy options in aging societies Demographic options Encourage childbearing; permit more immigration. Pension system options Reduce benefits; raise contributions; raise age at eligibility; encourage private savings. Labor force options Encourage higher labor force participation and later age at retirement.

Conclusions Very high and very low fertility have net adverse effects Declining high fertility brings multiple benefits for human welfare and the environment Policies are available to maximize positive effects and minimize negative effects World is moving from demographic dividend to demographic burden
