Population Aging and Potential Growth in Asia

Otsu, Keisuke, Shibayama, Katsuyuki (2016) Population Aging and Potential Growth in Asia. Asian Development Review, 33 (2). pp. 56-73. ISSN 0116-1105. (doi:10.1162/ADEV_a_00072) (KAR id:58705)

Abstract

We study the effects of projected population aging on potential growth in Asian economies over the period 2015–2050. We find that an increase in the share of the population over 64 years of age will significantly lower output growth through decreased labor participation. Population aging can also reduce economic growth through increased labor income taxes and dampened productivity growth.
