Many countries in the Asian and Pacific region are in the middle or advanced stages of a demographic transition from high fertility and high mortality levels to low fertility and low mortality levels. As a result, the age structure is changing. Younger people in economically productive age ranges and older people are forming larger shares of the population. Thus, the demographic transition is both an opportunity and looming challenge for countries in the region.
