Between the early 1950s and the beginning of the new century in Pakistan, life expectancy at birth increased by 20 years, from a base of 41 years. It would seem that the longer life expectancy would begin to considerably increase the size of the elderly population in both absolute and relative terms, although such an increase does not show up in the middle panel of Figure 2-3. This is because much of the improvement in life expectancy was due to reductions in infant and child mortality. 26 The Economic Implications of Aging Societies Pakistan’s Population Structure in 1950 Percent of population by sex & age 75-79 60-64 45-49 30-34 15-19 0-4 8 6 4 2 0 0 2 Males 4 Females 6 8 6 8 6 8 Pakistan’s Population Structure in 2000 Percent of population by sex & age 75-79 60-64 45-49 30-34 15-19 0-4 8 6 4 Males 2 0 0 2 4 Females Pakistan’s Population Structure in 2030 Percent of population by sex & age 90-94 75-79 60-64 45-49 30-34 15-19 0-4 8 6 4 Males 2 0 0 2 4 Females Figure 2-3.
Historically, these projections have been made on a deterministic basis, with certain assumptions made about how people will behave. Typically, a set of pessimistic and optimistic assumptions establishes a corridor around a “best guess” estimate. Projections based entirely on pessimistic assumptions often result in a gloomy outlook. For example, if the Japanese fertility rates of the early 1990s were to persist through the next millennium, the Japanese society would almost completely disappear.
The point is that national trends in fertility rates have short-term anomalous variances and may actually reach plateaus beyond which the historic trend no longer persists. So far, however, there is no evidence that countries where historic trends have led to rates 20 The Economic Implications of Aging Societies Total fertility rate 8 6 4 2 0 1800 1820 1840 1860 1880 1900 1920 1940 1960 1980 2000 Year Figure 2-2.
