1 Section 2 Present and future of emerging 1. Economic growth rate First, we will look at emerging growth potential. Between 2003 and 2013, the average annual growth rate (in terms of real GDP growth rate) was nearly 5% for all emerging-economy income groups (low-income, lower-middle-income and uppermiddle-income ), compared with an annual growth rate of 1.5% for high-income (Figure I ). The average growth rate for upper-middle-income was 4.9%, the highest of all emerging-economy income groups, followed by 4.8% for lower-middle-income and 4.7% for low-income. The average income (GNI) per capita for emerging is less than a fifth of the average for high-income. However, given that the population size and economic growth rate of emerging are far higher than those of high-income, emerging economic potentials cannot be ignored. Figure I Economy growth rate by income group Real GDP growth rate (annual rate) Average from 2003 to 2013 High-income 1.3 billion people Average 37,000 dollars Upper-middle-income 2.4 billion people Average 7,000 dollars Lower-middle-income 2.6 billion people Average 2,300 dollars Middle-income 5 billion people Emerging 5.8 billion people Low-income 800 million people Average 600 dollars Notes: Figures in the items above represent population sizes and national income levels (GNI per capita) as of Source: World Population Prospects: The 2012 Revision (United Nations), WDI (World Bank). (1) Changes in the average growth rate A look at long-term changes in the economic growth rates of emerging by income group shows that a significant change occurred around 1990, when economic globalization started to advance (Figure I ). First, we will look at annual changes in the average growth rate by income group since 1965 in terms of the coefficient of variation (standard deviation mean). The co-efficient of variation for high-income 56
2 has risen significantly since 1990, when economic globalization started to advance. This indicates that annual changes in the average growth rate have been becoming larger in recent years in high-income. In contrast, the coefficients of variation for upper-middle-income and lower-middle-income have not significantly changed, meaning that the growth rates for both groups of since 1990 has stayed at around the pre-1989 levels. From this, it may be said that upper-middle-income and lower-middle-income have been maintaining stable growth over the long term. The coefficient of variation for low-income has declined significantly since 1990, indicating that annual changes in the average growth rate have become smaller than before It may be said that although their growth rate is still higher than the growth rate of upper-middle-income, lower-middle-income are gradually getting on a path of more stable growth. A similar trend is observed among oil-producing countries 9. As shown above, since 1990, the annual economic cycle swing has tended to become smaller in emerging and oil-producing countries, whereas in high-income that bore the brunt of the Lehman Shock, the annual economic cycle swing has become larger than before (Coefficient of variation) Figure I Changes in average growth rates Comparison of changes in annual average growth rates (coefficient of variation) between the period before 1980 and the period after 1990 Coefficient of variation of all income groups (from 1990 to 2013) Coefficient of variation of all income groups (from 1965 to 1989) High-income Lowermiddleincome Uppermiddleincome (2) Growth inequality within income groups Low-income Oil-producing countries Notes: 1.

3 Meanwhile, if we look at the differences in the average growth rates for income groups in terms of the coefficient of variation, we can see that the value of the coefficient varies significantly from income group to income group and from time to time. A similar trend is observed among oil-producing countries. However, since 2008, the year of the Lehman Shock, the coefficient of variation has declined significantly for oil-producing countries and all income groups, indicating that their growth rates have been converging around the lowest-ever level (Figure I ). These trends suggest that around the world, including emerging and oilproducing, have been becoming increasingly interconnected with each other. While there are presumably various factors behind the increasing interconnection, the widespread economic globalization, including in emerging, has had a great impact. In other words, behind the increasing interconnection is the fact that because of the advance of globalization, economic mutual dependence between emerging and between high-income and emerging has grown, with the result that economic cycle swings now spread throughout countries and regions around the world without a time lag. (Coefficient of variation) Figure I Growth inequality within income groups High-income Upper-middle-income Lower-income Low-income Oil-producing countries Notes: 1. For each income group, when the growth rates of countries and regions are four times larger than the standard deviation of target income groups, such countries and regions are excluded as outliers.

Income per capita As was already shown, although the average income (GNI) per capita in most emerging is less than a fifth of the level in high-income, it has been growing significantly since the 2000s. The high growth has been continuing in upper-middle-income in particular, bringing 58
4 the average income there above 7,000 dollars in 2013 (Figure I ). A look at the distribution of upper-middle-income and high-income in terms of income per capita shows that whereas the former group is concentrated in a relatively narrow income range between 4,000 dollars and 13,000 dollars, the latter group is distributed very widely across income brackets above 13,000 dollars, including those above 70,000 dollars. Consequently, there is a wide gap between the two groups in the average income level (Figure I ). However, despite the very wide range of distribution for high-income, around half of those are concentrated in income brackets of less than 27,000 dollars. Therefore, if some high-income are excluded, the gap between the two groups is not so wide as is the case when compared on an average basis. A similar comparison between lower-middle-income and upper-middle-income shows that these two groups of are distributed in a similar way (Figure I ).

Total population According to an estimate by the United Nations, population growth will continue until 2020 in most emerging (Figure I ). However, in 2020 and beyond, population growth is expected to almost come to a halt in uppermiddle-income, and in 2040 and beyond, the growth is expected to come to a halt in lowermiddle-income as well. Population growth is expected to continue in 2040 and beyond only in low-income. 61

Low-income 4. Aging of population The aging of population is expected to advance rapidly in the future not only in high-income but also in emerging. Figure I shows projections of the future working age-population and elderly population by income groups based on data prepared by the United Nations. The figure shows that while the working-age population is expected to start declining after remaining flat until 2040 in upper-middle-income, the elderly population is expected to grow rapidly from now on. Meanwhile, in lower-middle-income and low-income, while the working-age population is expected to continue growing, the elderly population is also expected to increase. As a result, in many emerging, the elderly population is expected to grow rapidly from now on. In upper-middle-income in particular, the aging of the population is expected to advance rapidly, as the working-age population is expected to start declining after staying flat. 62

Low-income Next, we will look at the progress in the aging of population by income group. Figure I shows projections of the future proportion of the elderly population by income group based on data prepared by the United Nations. As defined by a report prepared by the United Nations, a society is regarded as aging if people aged 65 or older (the elderly population) account for more than 7% of the population, as aged if the proportion of such people is higher than 14% and as super-aged if the proportion is higher than 21%. According to these definitions, upper-middle-income, which are already aging societies, are expected to turn into aged societies by 2040 and into super-aged societies by Lower-middle-income and low-income are expected to turn into aging societies by 2040 and by 2050, respectively. 63

Meanwhile, healthcare expenditure per capita in upper-middle income, which are already aging societies, has increased rapidly since the 2000s, when per-capita income there started to rise (Figure I ). In line with increases in income per capita and the share of the elderly population, healthcare expenditure is also expected to grow rapidly in the future in other emerging where the growth is still low. 64

Urbanization Urbanization is rapidly advancing in emerging as well. Figure I shows the urbanization rate and the urban population growth rate by income group in The figure shows that the share of residents in urban areas (urbanization rate) in the total population is higher than 60% in upper-middle-income. The urbanization rate is nearly 40% in lowermiddle-income and around 30% in low-income. Behind the high urbanization rates are rapid population inflows into urban areas. The ratio of population inflow into urban areas to the urban population in the previous year was 0.8% (2013) in high-income, meaning that the population inflow has almost come to a halt. However, the ratio remains at high levels, ranging from 2.3% to 3.9%, in emerging. 65

According to an estimate by the United Nations, the urbanization rate will continue rising for all income groups. In upper-middle-income in particular, the rise in the urbanization rate is projected to accelerate in the future (Figure I ). Consequently, the urbanization rate in upper-middle-income is expected to reach 80% in 2050, close to the levels in high-income. 66
12 Figure I Expected urbanization rate High-income Upper-middle-income Lower-middle-income Low-income Source: World Urbanization Prospects: The 2014 Revision (United Nations). 6. Simultaneous advance of aging and urbanization Figure I shows past changes and estimated changes in the urbanization rate and the share of the elderly population by income group in the period up to 2050 based on data prepared by the United Nations. According to this figure, urbanization has already advanced in high-income and since the 1970s, the pace of urbanization has been slowing down. Meanwhile, the pace of aging of population is expected to accelerate over the coming years, with a time lag behind the advance of urbanization. On the other hand, in emerging, urbanization and aging of population are expected to advance simultaneously over the coming years. In upper-middle-income, urbanization is expected to continue advancing rapidly until around 2030, whereas aging of population is expected to accelerate in 2020 and continue afterwards. In lower-middle-income, while urbanization is expected to continue advancing over a long period of time, aging of population is expected to accelerate in 2020 and beyond. In low-income, while urbanization is expected to continue advancing over a long period of time as it is in lower-middle-income, aging of population is expected to advance in 2030 and later. As a result, emerging are confronted with the difficult challenge of dealing with aging of population and urbanization at the same time. This also means that in emerging, there will be two huge markets, one for services in the medical and healthcare sectors as a solution for aging of population and the other for infrastructure development as a solution for urbanization. 67
