Abstract
Indonesia has been enjoying a period in which its population age structure has been favourable to economic growth – the share of the population who are of working age has been increasing. This gives rise to a "demographic dividend" which has the potential to spur growth. This period will, however, come to an end in 2030. China is a useful comparison case as its working-age population share has been decreasing since around 2010. China has maintained high economic growth in the face of the declining demographic dividend through a combination of rural to urban migration and dramatic increases in educational attainment. In this talk I will examine what the declining demographic dividend means for Indonesia and whether it can emulate China's success.
