The Impact of Technology and Innovation Development on Population Dynamics and Structure

Abstract

The paper starts from identifying the variables that define the current societal context and rethinking them in the sense of a well-being projection. In this respect, we analyzed the correlation between unemployment rate, GDP, and R & D spending in the Romanian economy, as a prerequisite of the interest for the development of education in consensus with the directions of the society based on knowledge. Thus, the level of unemployment is influenced to a significant extent by R & D investment, as well as the indirect link between GDP growth and the unemployment rate, a link known as the Okun Law.
