Comparative, steady-state analysis shows that relatively low rates of saving should characterize either pre- or post-transition societies, but that post-transition societies have a much higher demand for wealth than do societies yet to have begun their demographic transition. A dynamic simulation model is used to analyze saving rates during the transition. Using detailed demographic and economic data based on the experience of Taiwan, we show that demographic factors may underlie a substantial portion of the rise in net national saving experienced in the region. Further, our model anticipates a rapid decline in saving as countries approach the end of their demographic transitions and achieve high levels of wealth.Item Family influences on the lifestyle of Filipino youth(Honolulu: East-West Center, 2001) Cruz, Grace T.; Laguna, Elma P.; Mejia-Raymundo, CorazonItem Events information and the life course framework in young adult reproductive health (YARH) survey studies of adolescent risk(Honolulu: East-West Center, 2001) Xenos, PeterItem Materials for the demographic history of Southeast Asia(Honolulu: East-West Center, 1996) Xenos, PeterItem Early marriage and childbearing in Indonesia and Nepal(Honolulu: East-West Center, 2001) Choe, Minja Kim; Thapa, Shyam; Achmad, Sulistinah Irawati
