Can Demographics Reduce Uncertainty/Error in GDP Forecasts For the decade 2007 to 2017 the top 10 counties in this table achieved an average real GDP growth of 5.8% pa. The next 10 achieved an average of 3.4% The remaining 9 achieved 1.1% Could demographics have helped segment them accordingly?

4 The Global Picture of Growth of Working Age Population Appreciate that the Affluent Markets have a different definition of what is working age. Increased life expectancy, better health and wellness and better education all combine together with pension insecurity to encourage people to stay in work longer. 23% of American Males aged 70 to 74 years are still in full time employment. For Japan it is 25%
5 Working Age Population Growth Note- China: There is a dichotomy between urban and rural workforces. Urban is growing and accounts for 90% of productivity growth, Note the EU effect free movement of labour is depleting some of the Emerging Markets of their key resource labour and particularly skilled labour. Poland s labour force is down 7% from what it would otherwise have been due to migration and that is probably 10%+ of the skilled labour force lost to that country.

6 Workforce Capability - Education Education is a critical enabler but also aligns with Productivity. The 31 countries below 200 all have low productivity as well. But: The relationship with Productivity is not linear. Overall Education Profile is slow to change but can be reliably forecast It has a lagged effect on Accumulated Fixed Capital Investment per worker. The takeoff zone
Education Rankings The conundrum It is a reality that countries with rapidly growing working age populations (and typically rapid growth in child and youth populations) are weak on education. All the Emerging Markets with a strong education profile are ones with a declining working age population. But nonetheless a significant number of those with a growing working age population are over or close to 200 on the education index. Education Index - higher is better Working Age 2007 2017 2027 CAGR 2017-27 Saudi Arabia 171 221 253 3.1% Kenya 100 121 137 3.1% Nigeria 100 121 137 2.8% United Arab Emirates 184 217 237 2.8% Pakistan 84 152 238 2.1% Egypt 142 167 184 1.8% Philippines 189 224 255 1.5% Malaysia 209 223 232 1.5% Turkey 149 207 230 1.3% Bangladesh 109 131 143 1.3% South Africa 196 236 279 1.3% Mexico 158 179 198 1.2% India 119 144 163 1.2% Peru 181 212 236 1.1% Indonesia 146 168 181 1.0% Argentina 223 241 250 1.0% Colombia 149 175 197 0.6% Viet Nam 187 227 192 0.5% Brazil 154 183 210 0.5% Chile 215 219 220 0.4% China 164 189 211-0.2% Thailand 123 149 170-0.4% Czechia 289 293 294-0.4% Republic of Korea 256 262 267-0.7% Hungary 253 277 282-0.8% Russian Federation 281 276 270-0.9% Poland 259 274 264-0.9% Greece 212 230 246-1.0% Bulgaria 261 272 277-1.1% 7
8 Propensity to be employed This is the probability of a person of working age being in employment. As a general rule it increases with Education and decreases with Affluence. But it is also subject to market forces. The supply of low skilled (poorly educated) persons of working age is substantial. This year approximately 27 million persons in the world will turn 15 years of age, potentially looking for work this year and who have not completed primary education. This means demand for low skill manual task work is high at a time that robotics is replacing it.
9 Propensity to be Employed An increasing propensity to be employed increases the potential growth of the labour force over what the rend in working age population alone indicates. Overall the Emerging Markets show a positive trend just two exceptions. Kenya and China. But note that India and Nigeria two very large populations are neutral. Also appreciate that, as shown earlier, countries such as Thailand where the working age population is now in decline, there is a natural pressure to increase overall propensity to be employed.

10 Total Employed Labour Force This table reflects the combination of: 1. Number of persons of working age (15-64 yrs for these countries) 2. Their change in propensity to be employed 3. Which in turn is in part a function of education profile Again the issue here is yield and hence size of workforce is not the focus but rather how rapidly it is growing. So countries are sorted on that basis.

Quantity Growth and Quality The previous slide identifies which counties have the most rapid growth in the size of their labour force. However, capability as enabled by education is an issue, and if we give education equal rating as growth in number employed then a very different picture emerges.

Workforce Empowerment Accumulated FCI 12 First a definition. Fixed Capital Investment (FCI) can be a lumpy variable especially in small economies. As such it is not a good indicator of year on year performance. Accumulated FCI is run over a 10 year period with 10% depreciation applied. So it is 10% of the earliest year + 20% of second oldest year, etc. It indicates the amount of resources available to enable the worker to be more productive. Ideally it should be growing and typically does if education index is above 150 and growing and overall economy is growing.
13 The Drivers This chart shows the relationship across all 107 countries between Average Fixed Capital Investment per worker and GDP per worker The relationship is positive as is to be expected and has a reasonable R2. This chart shows the weak but directional lagged relationship between Education and accumulated Fixed Capital Investment. Basically investment is very low as long as education index is bellow 150. It then tends to accelerate. Differences in outcomes above 150 may well be a function of incentives etc.
14 Accumulated Fixed Capital Investment per Worker This is a multi dimensional variable both absolute level (higher the better) and projected rate of increase are both important in determining Gross Productivity per worker As shown the two variables do not correlate well but order reflects the average rank on the two variables absolute level in 2017 and projected growth to 2027. Please note while historical absolute data is reliable, forecasts are highly subjective and alternative scenarios could be advanced.
