| Annotation | The roles played by demographic parameters of fertility, mortality and migration on the pace and concentration of ageing in the context of a developing region are considered. Trends are contrasted between the larger (Guyana, Jamaica, and Trinidad and Tobago), mid-sized (Bahamas, Barbados, Belize), and smaller (Antigua and Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, St Kitts and Nevis, St Lucia, and St Vincent and the Grenadines) states. The paper considers shifts in the structure of population at older ages due to the decline in fertility and mortality, and points to some of the policy considerations that these relatively small and newly independent states will need to tackle.
