Key Insights
This research paper analyzes global demographic trends and their implications for the labor force from 1950 to 2030. It utilizes United Nations projections to explore changes in mortality and fertility rates, population growth, and age structure. The study discusses the varying growth rates of the working-age population across different regions and the shift towards an older workforce. It also examines the “youth bulge” and its economic implications, particularly in Africa, and considers the changing dependency ratios due to demographic transitions. The paper concludes that while the global working-age population will continue to grow, the rate of increase is slowing, with significant regional disparities and a notable aging of the labor force.
