Lommen, Yolanda Fernandez | October 2010
Abstract
The structure of the labor market, the pattern of savings, and migration flows will change in an aging society.
A population is said to be aging when the elderly segment grows faster than the total population, resulting from falling fertility rates and rising longevity. Aging can have adverse effects on economic performance that demand changes in social and economic policies to address the challenge. This brief outlines the socioeconomic implications of the aging population of the People's Republic of China.
