Ronald Lee

Ronald Lee is an influential American demographer noted for his research in population studies and economics. He is well-known for developing the concept of "demographic transition," which explains how countries change from high birth and death rates to lower ones as they industrialize and develop. Lee's work often focuses on the implications of population aging and the economic and social impacts of demographic changes. His contributions have helped policymakers understand the challenges and opportunities presented by shifting population dynamics, particularly in relation to labor markets, healthcare, and social security systems.
