Moreover, the taxonomy of the different states of the demographic transition of the region is presented by means of a comparison between Latin-American countries. Additionally, the demographic structure and dynamics of senior citizens and the indicators of aging in the population –proportion of persons older than 60 years old in the population, relation of potential economic dependency, ageing index, reason for dependency– are detailed. The effects of ageing with feminine characteristics, which increase inequalities, and the demographic bond, which would allow the readjustment of priorities while the baby booms achieve massively and inevitably older ages, are described.El rápido descenso de la natalidad posterior a la década de 1950 propició el acelerado e ineludible proceso de envejecimiento de la población costarricense. Este artículo presenta un panorama de dicho proceso, muy acelerado para economías dependientes y diferente a la experiencia demográfica de naciones desarrolladas, que primero se enriquecieron y luego envejecieron. El análisis de este proceso se fundamenta en la comparación de los datos de población de los censos realizados en Costa Rica para el periodo 1950-2000. Por otra parte, mediante la comparación entre países latinoamericanos, se presenta una taxonomía de los diferentes estadios de la transición demográfica en la región. Asimismo, se detalla la estructura y la dinámica demográfica de la población adulta mayor, y los indicadores del envejecimiento poblacional (proporción de personas mayores de 60 años en la población, relación de dependencia económica potencial, índice de envejecimiento, razón de dependencia). Se describen los efectos de la feminización del envejecimiento (que aumenta las inequidades) y el bono demográfico (que permitirá un reacomodo de prioridades mientras los baby boom llegan masiva e inevitablemente a las edades mayores).Universidad de Costa Rica2005-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArticleTextartículo originalhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/gerontologia/article/view/8866Annals in Gerontology; Vol. 5 No. 1 (2005): Anales en Gerontología; 83-108Anales en Gerontología; Vol. 5 Núm. 1 (2005): Anales en Gerontología; 83-1082215-46471659-0813reponame:Portal de Revistas UCRinstname:Universidad de Costa Ricainstacron:UCRspahttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/gerontologia/article/view/8866/8346Derechos de autor 2014 Anales en Gerontologíaacceso abiertohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2025-02-12T22:22:31Zoai:portal.ucr.ac.cr:article/8866Portal de revistashttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/Universidadhttp://www.ucr.ac.crhttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/index/oaijorge.polanco@ucr.ac.crCosta RicaNo aplicaNo aplicaNo aplicaopendoar:2025-08-13T10:58:00.062Portal de Revistas UCR - Universidad de Costa Ricafalse |

The rapid decrease of the birth rate after the 1950’s encouraged the fast and unavoid- able ageing process of the Costa Rican population. This article presents an outlook of this process, very fast for dependent economies and different from the demographic situation of developed countries which first enriched and then grew old. The analysis of this process is based on the comparison of the information about population of the census made in Costa Rica in the period of 1950-2000. Moreover, the taxonomy of the different states of the demographic transition of the region is presented by means of a comparison between Latin-American countries. Additionally, the demographic structure and dynamics of senior citizens and the indicators of aging in the population –proportion of persons older than 60 years old in the population, relation of potential economic dependency, ageing index, reason for dependency– are detailed. The effects of ageing with feminine characteristics, which increase inequalities, and the demographic bond, which would allow the readjustment of priorities while the baby booms achieve massively and inevitably older ages, are described. |
