Target audience
It is expected that participants will be informed on the use of population projections for economic and fiscal planning and thereby ensure long-term sustainable development.
Programme
Sessions will cover the following topics:
• Assessing likely impacts of changing age structure on economic growth via the “demographic dividend” and “demographic tax.”
• Forecasts of GDP per capita over long time-horizons through the use of demographic data.
• Demographic “stress-tests” of support systems for older persons (financial, familial, and public sector).
• Measurement and international comparisons of generosity of benefits provided through education, health care, and pensions by societal-as-whole and by the public sector.
• Forecasts of future public spending on education, health care, and pensions in an older and wealthier Latin America and the Caribbean.
