Abstract: This study reports whether population ageing and unemployment rates have an impact on regional innovation outputs. Based on empirical analyses with relevant data for 2010 and 2020, the study finds that an increase in population ageing leads to an increase in regional innovation output, which is partly mediated by the unemployment rate, population ageing contributes indirectly to an increase in regional innovation output by reducing the unemployment rate. The study also shows the heterogeneity of this effect across regions.
