On the impact of demographic change on economic growth and poverty (2018, background): “…see continued growth in the proportion of working-age people for several decades, even as the working-age population share declines in high-income countries and many middle-income countries (Lee, 2003; World Bank, 2015).1 These demographic changes can affect economic pros- perity in several ways.”
Economic and Social Implications of the Demographic Transition (2011, background): “…increased family living standards and a more efficient use of women's time. ronald lee has estimated that women went from spending 70 percent of their adult lives bearing and rearing young children before the demographic transition , to spending only about 14 percent more recently (lee 2003: 167).”
Life expectancy and economic growth: the role of the demographic transition (2011, neutral): “For surveys on the demographic transition and its economic implications see also Lee (2003) , and Galor (2005).”
Population aging and the generational economy: key findings (2011, background): “Although some Western countries experienced fertility transitions and population aging in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the population age distribution hardly changed at the global level (Lee 2003b, p. 168).”
Ltd Registered in England and Wales Registered Number : 1072954 Registered office : (2004, background): “Finally, in Stage 4, birth rates and death rates congregate at low levels and the result is a renewed state of homeostasis or even population decline (Lee 2003).”
The fertility response to the Great Recession in Europe and the United States : Structural economic conditions and perceived economic uncertainty (2017, background): “However, the impact of economic depressions on fertility rates is normally rather small and of short duration because such socioeconomic factors are relatively short-term compared to secular demographic trends (Lee 2003; Lesthaeghe 2010).”
The Global Demography of Aging: Facts, Explanations, Future (2016, positive): “Population growth in Europe was slow and uneven for centuries, averaging 0.3 percent per year before 1700 (Lee, 2003).”
Realizing the demographic dividend: Is Africa any different? (2007, methodology): “We add additional variables from different data sources: schooling data are from Barro and Lee (2000), life expectancy from the World Development Indicators (World Bank 2006) , ethnic fractionalization data from Alesina, Devleeschauwer, Kurlat and Wacziarg (2003) , and institutional quality data fro”
Long-Term Determinants of the Demographic Transition, 1870–2000 (2013, background): “As Chesnais (1986) and Lee (2003) noted, the decline in overall mortality first happened around 1800 in France, Czechoslovakia, and the Scandinavian countries; it was slow in the early nineteenth century, but accelerated at the onset of the first globalization around 1870 and involved most European…”

Migration and Development: Dissecting the Anatomy of the Mobility Transition (2017, background): “(i) Demographic transitions for example may result in more youthful and economically-active populations, which might result in more emigration should they fail to be absorbed locally into the labour force (see Lee, 2003).”
A Declining Farm Workforce: Analysis of Panel Data from Rural Mexico (2016, neutral): “Declining birthrates, a quintessential feature of economic development (Lee 2003), has a direct negative impact on the labor supply (with a lag).”
The Economic and Demographic Transition, Mortality, and Comparative Development (2013, positive): “As pointed out by Moav (2005) this implies that the effect of mortality on fertility does not work through a change in the quantity-quality trade-off.”
