Chapter one examines the progress made on sustainable poverty reduction and shared prosperity, as well as the policies that are needed to make further progress. With 2015 being a watershed year for global development goals, Chapter two reviews the development successes during the MDG period and examines the unfinished agenda left for the SDGs. Chapter three assesses the macroeconomic performance over the MDG period, provides the near- and medium-term outlook, and examines what the world might be like in 2030. Part two, the thematic part, examines how demographic change can be tilted in favor of the development goals. Chapter four characterizes demographic change at the global, regional, and country level. It also examines the drivers of demographic change that have shaped the diversity of demographic patterns and trends. Chapter five examines how demography affects development. It develops a new global typology that ties demographic change to development potential and analyzes the various pathways through which demographic change affects the prosperity of nations. Chapter six analyzes how policies can leverage demographic change in support of the development goals. It examines policy opportunities at both the country and the global level.
