This relative increase in the younger portion of the working-age population (15-64 years) was generated during the late stages of the demographic transition when fertility rates began to fall. This transition produces a youth bulge from which a “boom” generation emerges, that is, a generation that is larger than that which precedes and follows it Over time this generation works its way through a given country’s age structure (Bloom, Canning and Sevilla, 2003). In Pakistan there will be a boom generation reaching working age in the next few years.
