Target audience
The Workshop is intended for government officials and national professionals (demographers, statisticians, economists and others) involved in envisioning national futures via population, economic, fiscal or budgetary forecasts.
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.
