Lessons learned and best practices: The demographic dividend and population ageing in LDCs

While some Asia-Pacific LDCs are approaching or have entered the late stage of the demographic transition, the majority of LDCs in sub-Saharan Africa are still in the early stages of the transition. The major demographic challenges facing these countries include persistently high levels of fertility and rapid population growth. As a result, Governments are anticipating tremendous challenges and considerable pressures to accommodate their rapidly expanding school-age and working-age populations.
