We provide a framework for isolating the pure effects of population aging on per capita GDP, employ the framework in calculations for twenty OECD countries, and derive the rates of productivity growth required to offset those effects. Taking the twenty countries as a whole, the average productivity growth rate (a simple unweighted arithmetic average) required to just offset aging effects over the full 30 years from 2015 to 2045 would be 4.2 per cent per decade, or approximately 0.4 per cent per year; to achieve an overall increase of 1 per cent in GDP per capita would require an average rate of 15.1 per cent per decade, or 1.4 per cent per year. We consider also some labour-related changes that might provide offsets, for comparison with productivity.","PeriodicalId":44334,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Studies in Population","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2018-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.25336/csp29355","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44691814","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

KlineNew York: The Guilford Press 2016ISBN 978-1-4625-2334-4Softcover, US$65, 534 pp.Kline’s fourth edition is reasonably strong but improvable. The text aims to introduce newcomers to fundamental structural equation modeling (SEM) principles, but tends to confuse “Principles” with “Rules.” Rules having insufficient grounding in principles leave readers ill-prepared for understanding and responding to changes in previously traditional “rules”—such as those concerning model testing, and latents having single indicators. SEM’s foundations would be clearer if Kline began by presenting structural equation models as striving to represent causal effects—a commitment that differentiates structural equation models from regression and encourages model testing. I begin this review by summarizing the covariance/correlation implications of three simple causal structures, which pinpoints multiple text improvements and underpins the discussions of measurement and model testing that follow. Causal structuring also grounds my later comments regarding modelling means/intercepts and interactions.

It will eventually peak at slightly more than 11 billion in the 22nd century, and thereafter slowly decrease for the first time in several centuries. Under the United Nations’ low-fertility assumption, world population would peak even sooner, at 8.7 billion in about 2050 and decrease to 7.3 billion by 2100. Today’s current population is increasing by 1.1 per cent per year, compared to almost 2 per cent as recently as 1970–75. By the end of the current century, in 2095–2100, the United Nations expects world population growth to decrease to 0.1 per cent per year; however, peak population size does not occur in this century, according to the 2017 United Nations’ medium-fertility population projections. By 2095–2100, world population growth is small but still positive. If the United Nations’ rates are extrapolated beyond 2100, world population growth would decrease to zero in about 2110 (by linear extrapolation) or 2115 (by exponential extrapolation). Even though world fertility is projected to fall below replacement levels by 2100, the younger age distribution in some high-fertility countries provides “momentum” for continued population growth past 2100. Nevertheless, global world population growth is expected to cease by 2075 in all regions except Africa and Oceania.","PeriodicalId":44334,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Studies in Population","volume":"45 1","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2018-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.25336/CSP29372","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42773716","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
