Harnessing the Synergy of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Human Capital Restructuring in Ageing Economies
This collaborative research study focuses on the macroeconomic and financial consequences of population ageing in Asia and explores how synergies between AI-driven technological innovation and human capital development can help mitigate its adverse effects. Drawing on theoretical insights, empirical evidence, and country case studies from SEACEN member economies, the analysis highlights how ageing affects growth, inflation, saving and investment behaviour, interest rates, and the transmission of monetary policy.
The findings stress that ageing is not mechanically deflationary or growth-reducing; its net effects depend critically on institutional settings, labour market adaptability, and the pace of technological adoption. This research publication covers the following six SEACEN economies: Korea, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, India, Vietnam, and the Philippines (in the order of appearance).
