ABSTRACT

With the improvement of the level of social development and the transformation of the population growth model, China's population structure has become increasingly prominent. Correctly assessing the potential risks brought by changes in population structure and making corresponding policy adjustments in a timely manner can promote long-term coordination between population and the economy and society development. Based on this, this article studies the impact of demographic changes on China's economic development. First, it outlines the demographic structure, introduces its definition and classification, and then describes the demographic changes in China. It mainly analyzes the age change of the working population in China, and then explains the impact of population structure changes on economic growth from three aspects: labor supply, national savings, and technological innovation. Finally, based on this, some countermeasures and suggestions are proposed, which are of some significance to economic development.
