Abstract

The economy will progress and develop according to the growth. But aging population can make a negative influence on economic growth. So, countries that can well manage such changes may be able to limit the adverse consequences of population aging. The aim of this paper is to discuss if the population aging may have less negative effect than some have predicted. Our study concluded that there is a “strong negative correlation between a country’s income per capita and child mortality”. This correlation is possibly due to better healthcare systems, because of more money going in.
