Human Capital Demographic Transition and Economic Growth
This paper extends the literature on economic growth and demographic change by developing a neo-classical model of endogenous growth in which both economic and demographic outcomes are jointly determined. The key point in this model is the endogenisation of child mortality rate by linking it to parents’ human capital, defined in a broad sense to include both education and health. The numerical ...
متن کاملFertility, Human Capital, and Economic Growth over the Demographic Transition
Do low fertility and population aging lead to economic decline if couples have fewer children, but invest more in each child?

This article i...

The world and most regions and countries are experiencing unprecedentedly rapid demographic change. The most obvious example of this change is the huge expansion of human numbers: four billion have been added since 1950. Projections for the next half century expect a highly divergent world, with stagnation or potential decline in parts of the developed world and continued rapid growth in the le...
متن کاملVintage Human Capital, Demographic Trends, and Endogenous Growth
We study how economic growth is affected by demographics in an OLG model with a realistic survival law. Individuals optimally chose the dates at which they leave school to work and at which they retire. Endogenous growth arises thanks to the accumulation of generation-specific human capital. Favorable shifts in the survival probabilities induce longer schooling and later retirement but have an ...
متن کاملAgeing, Human Capital and Demographic Dividends with Endogenous Growth, Labor Supply and Foreign Capital
We modify a Lucas-type endogenous growth model to contain endogenous labour supply, imperfect international capital movements, and estimated interest and education time functions. Solutions based on realistic calibrations show that (i) the rate of human capital depreciation through ageing has a much stronger negative impact on growth than further changes in the population growth rate or the Fri...
