The policy-maker's guide to population ageing: Key concepts and issues

Policy Research Paper 13 / Natalie Jackson. June 2001

This paper recognises the steady social shift of developing countries, from youthful age structures and expansive growth, to ageing and stationary or declining populations. This shift has been brought about by the demographic transition, experienced by both developed and developing countries.

This paper provides a useful compendium or 'tool kit' of concepts specifically related to population ageing.
