Abstract
Ageing population is produced as a consequence of demographic transition, out of which children population is reduced and elderly population increases. Negative economic consequences of this change can be mitigated taking advantage of the first and second demographic dividends. The first one consists in a transitory increase of the job supply, while the second one bases on the increase of productivity caused by a bigger human capital per capita. This paper investigates Argentinean capability to take advantage of the opportunities presented by these dividends by comparing census data of 1960 and 2010. We conclude that female population has shown more participation in labor force and better education levels, while the male population has shown less participation in labor force and practically the same distribution of scholar assistance by education levels.References
