The overall objective is to strengthen technical capacities of Paraguay to produce National Transfer Accounts (NTA) for the purpose of analyzing economic and social impacts of demographic changes, and thus increasing the ability of the governments to formulate long-term policies focused on the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In that context, the purpose of the workshop is to familiarize participants with the NTA framework and methodology; demonstrate practical applications; and support the initial efforts in constructing a full set of accounts for Paraguay.
The workshop will feature conceptual sessions and practical applications, using data from other countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, with the aim to construct the core elements of NTA, such as the lifecycle deficit and its components.
This capacity-building workshop is specifically designed for the new national NTA teams representing public institutions, as well as the academia.
