around a fifth of global GDP and is the most important trading partner to many large<br />

emerging economies, such as China. However, 15 it is assumed that monetary and fiscal<br />

measures, accompanied by budget-deficit reduction measures, including austerity, as<br />

well as growth-inducing incentives, will 10 help the Euro-zone to gradually improve its<br />

economic prospects and by 2015 return to more normal growth patterns, with posi-<br />

Growing global population, but shrinking working-age strata in many<br />

countries<br />

Demographics is a key driver for economic growth, as well as energy demand. It is important<br />

in terms of changes to the total number of people and in changing age structures,<br />

with the latter having significant implications for the size of the working-age<br />

population. Global population rises from 6.9 billion in 2010 to 8.6 billion in 2035.<br />

This increase comes predominantly from developing countries, which accounts for<br />

92% of the rise. By 2022, India will have overtaken China to become the most populous<br />

country on the planet. And there is a significant shift occurring in age structures:<br />

while the past has seen labour<br />

forces consistently grow across<br />

all regions, this is now becoming<br />

a shrinking trend in many<br />

cases. This is a strong dynamic<br />

for economic growth potential.<br />

The Chinese working-age<br />

population, for example, is expected<br />

to start declining within<br />

three years. This contrasts with<br />

demographic trends in India,<br />

where higher birth rates feed<br />

into a steadily rising workingage<br />

population.<br />

Long-term economic growth averages 3.4% per annum<br />

Long-term economic growth rate assumptions reflect demographic trends, as well as<br />

progressively smaller rates of productivity improvement. Over the period 2012–2035,<br />

long-term economic growth rates average 3.4% per annum (p.a.). By 2035, the Chinese<br />

economy will be larger than any other country and even larger than entire regions<br />

within the OECD, such as America and Europe. India, which in 2010 accounted for<br />

5% of global GDP, rises to 11% by 2035 and will then have a larger economy than<br />

the whole OECD Asia-Pacific region. Within ten years, India is expected to be growing<br />

faster than China, partly due to demographic trends that reduce the dependency<br />
