We review standard economic growth models concentrating on the relationship between
population ageing and economic growth and develop a growth model with endogenous human
capital and endogenous fertility. With this model we analyse the effects of education
policy and family policy on economic growth. The main result for economic policy is
that education policy boosts human capital and thus economic growth only in the short-term
(i.e. during the transition phase towards the steady state). To boost economic growth
in the long-term (i.e. when the economy has reached its steady state), it is necessary
to employ family policy as this increases both the fertility rate and the time individuals
spend accumulating human capital. The main result for economic growth theory is that
steady state economic growth is not possible when population is ageing. Steady state
growth is only possible if the age structure of the population is constant
