| | Where Will Demographics Take the Asia-Pacific Food System? |
 | | Migrants tend to favor economies with higher per capita income: Singapore, Hong Kong (China), Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Brunei, the United States, and Russia. | | | On the other hand, the dependency ratios for the lower income economies are projected to decline, providing an opportunity for these economies to save and invest resources for purposes other than raising/educating children and taking care of the elderly. | | | The declining share of young people in the population, however, will eventually shift to a greater share of older people as the working segment ages and retires. |
