IMF-Euro Area Policies: Selected Issues
July 8, 2016--THE IMPACT OF WORKFORCE AGING ON EURO AREA
PRODUCTIVITY1
The euro area population has aged considerably over the past few decades, a process expected to accelerate in the years ahead. At the same time, labor productivity growth in the euro area has been sluggish, posing risks to long-term growth prospects.
This paper studies the effect of the aging of the workforce on labor productivity, identifies the main transmission channels, and examines what policies might mitigate the effects of aging. We find that workforce aging reduces growth in labor productivity, mainly through its negative effect on TFP growth. Projected workforce aging will reduce TFP growth by an average of 0.2 percentage points every year over the next two decades. A variety of policies can ameliorate this effect.
