The Modern Period
The demographic dividend refers to the economic growth potential that can arise from shifts in a population's age structure, particularly when there is a larger proportion of working-age individuals compared to dependents. This phenomenon occurs during the demographic transition when fertility rates decline and life expectancy increases, creating a temporary window where the labor force expands relative to the non-working-age population.
