Concluding remarks w Using an annual panel dataset from 1990 to 2013 at the country-level in the Southeast n lo Asia (classified by United Nations, 2015), this study is conducted to analyze the following ad key areas in comparing with current literature First, the determination of the impact of a y th number of the demographic factors on the economic growth by using a various aspect of ju yi demographic factors, including: population growth, life expectancy, and age structure pl Second, the interpretation of the bi-directional causality among: (i) the population growth al n ua and the economic growth; and (ii) the life expectancy and the economic growth n va Furthermore, the two new econometric techniques, Driscoll and Kraay estimation, and fu structural equation model, in parallel with the panel regression technique are applied ll Moreover, the noticeable contribution of this study are: (i) the specification of the m oi various aspects of demographic factors on the economic growth is analyzed in the new nh at context (Southeast Asia) where most countries have experienced the demographic z transition, and have received the demographic dividend (Bloom and Finlay, 2009); and (ii) z ht vb the worth analysis of the bi-directional causality has recognized since it is the first one in k population growth, and life expectancy simultaneously jm its line of current literature that confirms the inverse effect of the economic growth on gm Findings from this study provides the empirical evidence of significant effect on the l.c economic growth from the three key following areas First, there is the positive effect of om the population growth which is consistent with the empirical results from Azomahou and a Lu Mishra (2008) and Bloom and Williamson (1998) Second, the life expectancy presents a n by dependence young, and dependence old); and (ii) the positive effect of working age P a g e | 56 th by population 0_14, and population 65) and the dependence working-age structure (proxied y structure are presented, including: (i) the negative effect dependence population (proxied te re Gallup and Sachs, (2000); and Ashraf et al., (2008) Third, the significant results of age n va substantial boost to the economy which is verified in the papers of Barro and Lee, (1994); t to population (proxied by population 15_64) The former is quite compatible with Bloom et ng al (2010) in negative effect of both young and old dependence on short-term growth, while hi ep the later has been confirmed in the argument of Crenshaw et al., (1997), and Azomahou and Mishra (2008) that the improvement in participation rate of labor force would directly w n lead to a raise in economic growth These finding could infer that the old population is lo becoming a pressure in Southeast Asia in future unless the government don’t make a ad y th suitable pension policy and health care system ju In addition, this study has demonstrated the significant inverse effects of the yi pl economic growth on the two following demographic factors First, the negative effect of ua al GDP per capita on the population growth are present which is reflected by the impact of n different population policy control in the Southeast Asia Second, the GDP per capita va n affects positively on the life expectancy In general, these findings have filled the gap of fu ll current literature by confirms the significant presence of the bi-directional causality m oi between the demographic factors (population growth, and life expectancy) and the at nh economic growth z z k jm ht vb om l.c gm n a Lu n va y te re th P a g e | 57 t to 5.2 Policy implication ng From the conclusion remarks, it is evident that the variation in population factors, for hi ep instance population growth, age structure, and life expectancy, clearly related to economic growth process in Southeast Asia during the two recent decades Therefore, this section w n will provide some key policies and programs which related to demographic factors and lo ad their impact on economic growth y th Population growth Policy ju Since the population growth was the main subject of demographers for centuries, the yi pl policy on population growth have been concerned as an important policy in most of the ua al countries in Southeast Asia According to World Population Policies Database (WPPD n henceforth), it is clear that there was an effort of Southeast Asian governments to stabilize va n population growth Particularly, in the low income countries such as Cambodia, Lao PDR, fu ll and Vietnam with the relatively high population growth, the governments have been m oi applying the lower population growth policy in order to reduce pressures on national at nh resources, and prepare for the employment and basic social services of all citizens On the contrary, the governments in higher income countries like Malaysia, Thailand have been z z satisfactory with their population growth and maintaining their population Moreover, the vb jm ht countries with highest income - Singapore – have been put effort into raising their population growth since the proportion of population over 65 in Singapore considerably k gm rose by about 5% in the period of 1990-2013 (1) The success of Singapore could reflect l.c through the fact that its population growth have significantly improved in recent times om Furthermore, Thailand and Malaysia should learn by experience of Singapore since there a Lu was a moderate reduction in their population growth and fraction of population under 15 n during the past decade Besides, the low-income countries should consider the situation of th P a g e | 58 y concern different policies due to the stage of demographic transition in each countries te re In conclusion, the governments should observe the experience of other countries and n va Thailand or Malaysia to capture full benefit from demographic transition in the next period t to Age structure Policy ng Nevertheless, the population growth itself could not provide the general picture of hi ep population status, hence the policymakers should concern more about the age structure as an important signal for the variation in population From the results of this study, the w n expansion of population, especially the working age group has undoubtedly accelerated the lo ad growth of GDP per capita in Southeast Asia during the past two decades However, the y th reduction in the share of young people implies that these countries could face the shrink in ju working age population in the future; hence it will depress economic growth in the region yi pl Consequently, there could be certain tradeoffs between the cost for current population ua al burden and future benefit from huge working age group, and policymakers should consider n carefully these costs and benefits of in order to maintain the sustainable growth and ensure n va the benefit for the next generation fu ll Moreover, the inevitable consequences of the larger working age in present period is m oi the aging population in future The dawn of this issue in Southeast Asian countries was at nh marked by the increase in the share of old people associated with the improvement in life expectancy As suggested by Bloom et al (2010), the negative impact of the increase in z z fraction of old population just exist in short run, yet not in the long run However, Eggleston vb jm ht and Fuchs (2012) claimed the new demographic transition with the longevity could lead to a difficulty for policymakers to maintain the positive relationship between life expectancy k gm and income per capita since almost the increase in life expectancy in recent times come l.c from the decline in mortality of population over 65 As a results, the portion of working om time to life expectancy will decrease, hence reduce the income per capita Indeed, the aging a Lu population could affect a large range of the economy, such as the economic performance, n savings rate, employment, and health Although the proportion of population over 65 in pension system and the improvement in statutory retirement age were some considered P a g e | 59 th policies to deal with the coming of an aging population in the next period The sustainable y governments should adopt some measures to address this phenomenon and endeavor some te re GDP per capita may reflect the incipient social security systems in this region Therefore, n va Southeast Asia just increased by 1.6%, the negatively remarkable impact of this change on t to decisions that Southeast Asian government should endeavor to prepare for the potential ng risk from aging population hi ep Health Policy The pronounced contribution of health to economic growth process was confirmed w n by the significantly positive impact of life expectancy on GDP per capita in Southeast Asia lo ad On the other hand, the significant relatively small effect of output per capita on life y th expectancy may reflect the incipient health services in this area In order to preserve the ju positive impact of life expectancy on income per capita and prevent the pressure from aging yi pl population, the measures to improve life expectancy should more focus on the child and ua al working-age health As suggested from SEM results, the developed immunization n programs for children could be a direct method to improve health, hence the medical care va n for infants and children should be concerned as a paramount objective to increase the fu ll survival change of child to complete the working age Moreover, the evidence also suggest m oi that the health of woman should be more concerned due to the fact that the participant of at nh female have direct relation with population growth and the lower fertility could lead to an increase in life expectancy Although there is an insignificant relationship between health z z and human capital in this study, education is still considered as an important factor in health vb jm ht development Particularly, the benefit from the increase in life expectancy could be maximized through the education system and the educated people seem to be more healthy k gm (Bloom et al., 2003) Therefore, the improved health program should consider the impact l.c of education as the complementary method to capture the full benefit of human capital to om income growth n a Lu n va y te re th P a g e | 60 t to 5.3 The limitation and directions for further research ng Although this study is conducted to analyze the various aspects of demographic hi ep factors to the economic growth, there is several related issue should be considered in the further research w n First, there could be a several elements can affect the economic growth, but these lo ad have not been presented in this study due to missing data problem Second, the time span y th in this study is over two decade, but it should be concerned in longer (some papers argued ju about 60 years) It means that there could be a case of nonlinear phenomena, or other effects yi pl of macro-factors, if the study can approach more data set Third, this study can consider a ua al several new econometric technique, including: (i) nonparametric estimation; (ii) Var; or n (iii) instrumental variables, to test and robust the study’s findings va n The emergence of analyzing demographic factors to the economic growth is still a fu ll new interest field since there is new changing trend of demographic idiosyncrasy m oi Therefore, the limitation can be understood in a way of looking forward to
