- YOUTHFUL POPULATION
- ADVANTAGES
- There is a large active workforce which will help economic growth in the future.
- There are many children to look after their parents so money doesn't need to be spent on healthcare.
- DISADVANTAGES
- Large amount of under 16s in LICs (Low Income Countries) puts a strain on the economy, particularly with food, health and education.
- High unemployment as there's lots of people of working age but not enough jobs.
- Childhood diseases such as measles and diarrhoea can be fatal as there are less hospitals and doctors in LICs.
- A high population of young people below the age of 16 or 19.
