Trends in the growth of the working-age population (WAgr) enhanced (Y/N)gr change six times in the first two periods but not a single time since. In short, the prevailing pattern throughout the world of a positive and strong net translations impact between the 1960s and the 1970s, followed by small and even negative net impacts in the latter two periods, has been driven to date largely by initially strong but eventually declining growth rates of the working-age population. Again, the notable exception is in Africa where, subject to the ravages of HIV-AIDS, such a period may lie ahead as the countries of that continent pass through the various phases of the demographic transition.

55) Note: The sample consists of a panel of 86 countries and four time periods, 344 observations in all. Details of estimation are provided in Kelley and Schmidt (2001). * indicates significance at the 5% level. ** indicates the 1% level, 1- or 2-tail tests as appropriate. 54. 1 presents the empirical results from that study for our preferred modeling variant.
