The demographic dividend is the economic payoff that can occur when there are relatively large numbers of people of working age. This can occur when substantial declines in fertility lead to a lower share of dependent young children in the population— a boon that will last until the bulge of workers begin to age and retire and the number of dependent elderly rises.
