Hong Kong media said China's labor population will fall: by 2050, a Brazil
Reference News Network reported in December 8th that Hong Kong media said that many countries are facing growing population problems as the population is aging.
according to the website of Hongkong South China Morning Post, in December 6th, the proportion of people aged 65 or above in Japan, Germany and Italy was the highest. But China is another country worthy of attention. The
Macquarie research department's Peter Eden Clark, Tanvi Gupta Jain and Matthew Turner shared a chart in a recent study on customers, showing their predictions of changes in the working age population of different countries and regions from 2015 to 2025. According to
, according to their calculations, the working age population in China has fallen the most. A chart shared by the
Merrill Lynch team wrote in the report: "China has emerged as the world's second largest economy, and its working age population increased by 380 million between 1980 and 2015." During that time, millions of Chinese migrated from rural areas to cities for manufacturing. This enabled China to become the world's largest manufacturing economy in 2010, and its working age population is expected to peak in 2017.
but "by 2050, China's population will be reduced by about 60 million, while the working age population will be reduced by about 1/3, or 212 million. This is equivalent to the current population size of Brazil (the fifth largest country in the world).
reports that the absolute value of China's population over 65 will be very high in the near future, which is particularly shocking, because it means that China will also have a problem with the ageing population of Japan, such as Japan, that the population of less working age needs to support more retirees and older people. .
the U. S. Census Bureau released a report on the global population ageing in March, comparing the population over 65 years of age and the total population of several major developed markets: the number of Chinese people in
2015 (136 million 900 thousand) exceeded the total population of Japan (126 million 900 thousand).
by 2030, the total forecast population of Japan and Egypt (231 million 800 thousand) will be lower than that of China's population over the age of 65 (238 million 800 thousand).
by 2050, China predicted that the elderly population (348 million 800 thousand) would be roughly equivalent to the total forecast population of Japan, Egypt, Germany and Australia. (compiling / Yin Xin)
