This policy brief summarizes the study’s findings.
Lesotho’s Demographic Dividend in the Context of Health and Other Development Challenges
This report analyses the potential demographic dividend in Lesotho through the lens of National Transfer Accounts. These accounts measure resource flows across generations and allow us to study how different generations draw on different types of resources—labour income, transfers, and assets—to fund their consumption. The methodology also enables us to estimate and analyse the demographic dividend, to identify the period during which the dividend may be harnessed, and to explore the types of changes in the socioeconomic context that might boost, or constrain, the demographic dividend.
