The Relationship Between Demographic Change and Economic Growth in the Eu Thomas Lindh

Over the last few years there has been an increasing awareness of a direct influence of population age structure on the macroeconomy and in particular on economic growth. In this report we provide a review of the recent literature that links changes in the demographic structure to economic growth and introduce three new empirical growth regressions for the EU-15 countries over the last decades (1950-2005).
