This book was released on 2010 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the impact of demographic change and urbanization on economic growth in Indonesia from 1960-2007. The analysis shows that economic growth is positively related to both the level and the rate of change of the working age population. Economic growth is also positively associated with the level of urbanization. But increases in the rate of urbanization negatively affect growth; in fact, they swamp the positive level-effects. The decreasing primacy of Jakarta also has a negative impact on economic growth. All things considered, Indonesia appears to be adapting well to the momentous changes in demographics that it is experiencing. But the country must rethink its approach to urbanization with a view to realizing the potential agglomeration economies that have apparently accrued to other countries during the course of development. In order to do this, the public sector will have to significantly increase its investment in urban infrastructure.

Download or read book Demographic Transition and Economic Growth Potential in Indonesia written by Miranda Goeltom and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compared to other Asia's most dynamic economies, currently Indonesia is still in the earlier stage of demographic transition, with 7.9 percent of the population aged 60 years or older in 2010. Nevertheless, demographic transition is considered as a quite important issue, not only its implication to macro economic developments in the medium-long run, but also its relationship with social values prevailing in society. The preliminary exercises conclude that the impacts of aging population on economic growth potentials can be explained well through labor force effect and the changes in national saving behavior. In this regard, based on a preliminary exercise, it is estimated that the increase in the proportion of aging population over the next two decades will hamper economic growth potentials, with approximately 0.5 to 0.7 percent potential loss per year. Beyond these findings, the challenges in Indonesian demography are also inseparable with the problem in fostering a higher quality of life and promoting a balance between population dynamics, natural resources and socio-economic development. It seems also that the future economic growth must come from the growth of productivity. The fact that productivity growth tends to slowdown during the last ten years implies that the Government needs to re-examine the policies with regard to education and training and technology development.

Download or read book Urbanization in Large Developing Countries written by Gavin W. Jones and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urbanization is a key process in developing countries. Within the next decade over 50 per cent of the world's population will inhabit urban areas and the majority of this growth is concentrated in developing countries. Analysing data for four large countries, this volume focuses on the relationship between economic change and urban growth. Specifically the authors examine the continued growth of industrial employment at the expense of the agricultural sector, the impact of government-controlled regional and industrial policy and the role of migration in response to employment opportunities. There are also important chapters on government responses to the lack of basic infrastructure, and the resulting negative impact on human welfare, in the cities. The volume's coherence results from the cross-country comparisons made by the authors and the conclusions that are not geographically restricted but have potential applications, by urban planners, in all developing countries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1960 and 2007, child mortality and fertility declined quickly in Indonesia. Child deaths per 1,000 decreased from around 216 to 36 and births per woman declined from 5.6 to 2.2. While total population grew modestly at 1.9 per cent per year, the age distribution of the population shifted considerably. The ratio of the working age population to the combined young and elderly populations rose from 1.31 to 2.01. The Indonesian economy grew moderately at 3.7 per cent annually but would have grown significantly faster if not for the regional financial and economic crisis of 1997-98. The analysis in this paper offers strong support for the hypotheses that demographic and economic variables are endogenous to one another and that the magnitude of the causal relationships is significant. Child mortality and fertility together accounted for about 35 per cent of the variation in per capita GDP and GDP determined about 18 per cent and 25 per cent of movements in child mortality and fertility, respectively, over the nearly 50 year period.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is long-standing debate on how population growth affects national economies. A new report from Population Matters examines the history of this debate and synthesizes current research on the topic. The authors, led by Harvard economist David Bloom, conclude that population age structure, more than size or growth per se, affects economic development, and that reducing high fertility can create opportunities for economic growth if the right kinds of educational, health, and labor-market policies are in place. The report also examines specific regions of the world and how their differing policy environments have affected the relationship between population change and economic development.

Download or read book Third World Cities written by John D. Kasarda and published by SAGE. This book was released on 1993 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It took New York City (the world's largest metropolis in 1950) nearly a century and a half to expand by eight million residents. Mexico City and Sao Paulo will match this growth in less than fifteen years. Asia's mega-cities, too, are exploding in number and size. This kind of unprecedented growth is being echoed in the urban centers of developing nations around the globe. The essays in this volume address the wide array of problematic issues--as well as the opportunities and advantages--that are the natural outgrowth of such rapid urbanization. Third World Cities examines three sets of vital issues. Drawing on the experience and evidence of the past two decades, the book's initial chapters assess theoretical frameworks upon which urban and migration policies are based. The authors of the middle section press for fresh approaches to the increasing demands placed on institutions and individuals in the largest cities of the developing world. The final chapters examine the complex demographic, social, and economic processes of urban growth. Students, professionals, and policymakers in development and urban studies, public administration, sociology, political science and comparative politics, geography, and ethnic studies will find Third World Cities to be a refreshing and innovative look at this growing concern. "Third World Cities offers a range of new ideas on the demographic, social spatial, and environmental changes that are 'occurring so quickly that up-to-date evidence is elusive' . . . Third World Cities is both thought-provoking and highly readable." -The Economic Times

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urbanization occurs in tandem with development. Countries in Southeast Asia need to build - individually and collectively - the capacity of their cities and towns to promote economic growth and development, to make urban development more sustainable, to mitigate and adapt to climate change, and to ensure that all groups in society share in the development. This book is a result of a series of regional discussions by experts and practitioners involved in the urban and planning of their countries. It highlights urbanization issues that have implications for regional - including ASEAN - cooperation, and provides practical recommendations for policymakers. It is a first step towards assisting governments in the region to take advantage of existing collaborative partnerships to address the urban transformation that Southeast Asia is experiencing today.

Book excerpt: The book focuses on Indonesia's most pressing labor market challenges and associated policy options to achieve higher and more inclusive economic growth. The challenges consist of creating jobs for and the skills in a youthful and increasingly better educated workforce, and raising the productivity of less-educated workers to meet the demands of the digital age. The book deals with a range of interrelated topics---the changing supply and demand for labor in relation to the shift of workers out of agriculture; urbanization and the growth of megacities; raising the quality of schooling for new jobs in the digital economy; and labor market policies to improve both labor standards and productivity.

This book was released on 2020-06-16 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cities are not only home to around half of the global population but also major centers of economic activity and innovation. Yet, so far there has been no consensus of what a city really is. Substantial differences in the way cities, metropolitan, urban, and rural areas are defined across countries hinder robust international comparisons and an accurate monitoring of SDGs. The report Cities in the World: A New Perspective on Urbanisation addresses this void and provides new insights on urbanisation by applying for the first time two new definitions of human settlements to the entire globe: the Degree of Urbanisation and the Functional Urban Area.
