Abstract: Abstract In this chapter, assuming that R&D activities need more resources in order to sufficiently improve the quality of intermediate goods to be combined with higher labor abilities in production, we show that a negative relationship between total-factor-productivity (TFP) growth and youth dependency, demonstrated by Kögel (J Dev Econ 76(1):147–173, 2005) using cross-country data, does not necessarily obtain over the development process, especially in earlier stages of economic development.
