Abstract

Population aging has become an important challenge facing contemporary society in general, and its impact not only involves demographic changes, but also profoundly affects multiple dimensions of economic development, social security, family structure and cultural attitudes. The average life expectancy of human beings has increased significantly with the improvement of medical standards and living conditions, while the declining birth rate has led to a gradual increase in the proportion of elderly people. The world, especially China, Japan and some European countries, is rapidly entering a stage of deep aging. Population aging is both a sign of social progress and a major issue that economic and social governance must face up to. By conducting a systematic study on the background, causes, impacts and countermeasures of population aging, and combining international experience with Chinese reality, this paper seeks to reveal the complexity and long-term nature of population aging and put forward forward-looking ideas on how to deal with it, so as to provide a reference for the sustainable development of society in the future.
