Abstract

The purpose of this work is to get some basic facts from the interaction between economic growth, age structure, macroeconomic environment and growth, taking into account the heterogeneity of both the demographic structure and the levels of development in the world. First we discuss the theoretical and empirical literature that links the effects of demographic variables on economic growth. Second, we carry out the empirical analysis with some explanatory variables. We use data over the last 15 years for a big group of countries. The theoretical and empirical analysis find evidence of a demographic dividend directly related to the percentage of the labor force. This potential relies on institutional and political factors. All in all, we show that population is not a drag for economic growth.
