Abstract

Demography plays a major role in education, with key policies determined by the composition of populations. The pace and dynamics of population change are crucial to educational planning. The size of the school-age population determines the potential demand for higher education. Regional birth rates, migratory flows and geographic distribution of populations will directly impact educational costs, decisions on school types and academic recruitment. The purpose of this chapter is to survey the changing world demographic profile and to consider the implications for institutions of higher education. We examine the implications primarily from the perspective of the developed world.
