“…For example, An and Jeon (2006) show that there is an inverted-U shaped relationship between demographic transition and growth, especially due to the increase in the ageing population. It is worth mentioning that changes in life expectancy are highly associated with demographic transition (Jesus Crespo Cuaresma, Martin Lábaj, and Patrik Pružinský 2014). Applying the same idea, Cervellati and Sunde (2011a) split their sample of study into two groups, depending on the stage of demographic transition, considering that life expectancy and mortality change are negatively related.…”

This study contributes to economic growth literature by providing new evidence on the relationship between life expectancy and economic growth utilising the recently developed dynamic panel threshold estimator. The sample of this study contains a total of 112 developed and developing countries covering the period from 1981 to 2010. The findings indicate the existence of a non-linear relationship between life expectancy and economic growth. In particular, life expectancy is useful for economic growth but only up to a certain threshold level; any further increase in longevity above the threshold would adversely affect growth. These findings emphasise the role of demographic transition in explaining the relationship between health and economic growth.

“…Post-accession migration from A8 countries in general were marked by a persistent feature of mismatch between the level of educational qualifications and the jobs they hold (Kahanec and Kurekova, 2014: 24;Sirkeci et al, 2014;Sirkeci et al, 2018), in other words, "penalised in the UK labour market relative to their human capital" (Johnston et al, 2015: 200). Over-qualification can be seen as a reflection of disadvantages and discrimination in the labour market leading to the inequalities between ethnic, religious and minority or migrant groups (Crespo Cuaresma et al, 2014;Danaj et al, 2018;Hudcovský et al, 2017).…”

Britain saw, between 2004 and 2014, a large number of movers arriving from the new member states of the European Union in Eastern Europe. Polish movers, being the largest national group, received much attention from academia, media and the wider public. Nevertheless, the movers from smaller nations, the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Slovakia, the A3 countries, have been overlooked. This article explores the labour market outcomes in relation to qualifications for migrant workers from these three countries in Britain. Our analysis is based on the 2012 Annual Population Survey data. Findings show that there were significant differences indicating possible disadvantages and discrimination faced by these migrant workers. Over-qualification was relatively high among the movers from the three selected countries.

“…Various theoretical and empirical studies have shown that population ageing – that is, changes in the population age structure that result in a shrinking relative size of the working age population – has a negative effect on economic growth (Bloom & Williamson ; Prskawetz et al ; Bloom et al ; Crespo Cuaresma et al ; van der Gaag & De Beer ). A decline in the size of the working age population has a downward effect on GDP per capita, whereas an increase in the number of elderly citizens has an upward effect on costs of pensions and care (Kluge ; van Nimwegen ; Kluge et al ).…”

European regions experience accelerating ageing, but the process has substantial regional variation. This paper examines the effect of this variation on regional economic cohesion in Europe. We measure the effect of convergence or divergence in the share of the working age population on convergence or divergence in economies of NUTS 2 regions. The effect of convergence or divergence in ageing on economic convergence or divergence is quite substantial and, in some cases, is bigger than the effect of changes in productivity and labour force participation. Convergence of ageing leads to economic convergence only when the share of the working age population in rich regions exceeds that in poor regions and the former regions experience a substantial decline in the share of the working age population, or the latter regions experience an increase. During 2003-12, an inverse relationship between convergence in ageing and economic convergence was the rule rather than the exception.
