DP/13/01 Economic Policy Challenges Stemming from Ageing Population of Belarus
Demographic trends form one of the key long-term challenges for social-economic policy in Belarus. On the one hand, shortening labour supply highlights need for labour market reforms. On the other hand, ageing population jeopardizes pension system sustainability stressing demand for reforms in social policy. Solutions to these problems may lie in raising efficiency of labour resources utilization and economic activity of pension aged population. In this regard, education system should play an important role in the policy designed to meet these targets.
