What is the impact of population aging?

The aging of population will bring the following effects: the decrease of labor force, the increase of total expenditure of basic old-age insurance, the difficulty of seeing a doctor, the incompatibility between the development of social and cultural welfare undertakings and the aging of population, and the weakening of family pension function.

1, labor force reduction

China is seriously aging. In the next decade, the size of the young labor force aged 20-24 will be reduced by 30%, and the birth rate will drop. China is aging seriously, and China is our current problem. China's aging is serious, and the decline of birth rate will bring serious harm, and the young labor force will decrease in the next decade.

2. The total expenditure of basic old-age insurance increased.

The aggravation of population aging may greatly increase the proportion of elderly people who are sick, disabled and demented in the future, which will not only increase the economic burden of enterprises and governments in basic medical insurance, but also increase the expenditure of elderly people in medical care and nursing, thus requiring more personal basic pension and various supplementary pension income.

3. Medical problems

The elderly are important consumers of medical and health resources. According to the statistics of the Ministry of Health, the prevalence rate of chronic diseases among the elderly over 60 years old is 3.2 times that of the whole population, the disability rate is 3.6 times that of the whole population, and the average consumption of health resources by the elderly is 1.9 times that of the whole population.

The development of health care in China lags behind the economic development. The problem that the elderly are difficult to see a doctor and look down upon it is particularly prominent.

4. Does the development of social and cultural welfare not adapt to the aging population?

On the basis of underdeveloped economy, China's social welfare and social security system is not perfect, which is far from meeting the growing needs of the elderly in an aging society. By the end of 20 14, there were more than 24 million elderly people over 80 years old and nearly 40 million disabled and semi-disabled elderly people in China. With the increasing number, the elderly are facing many social problems, such as pension, medical care, spiritual support and so on, and need a large number of medical staff to take care of them.

5. Weakening of family pension function.

Family support for the aged is an interlocking feedback mode. In terms of economic support, family pension is an intergenerational economic transfer. Taking the family as the carrier, the safety function is naturally realized and the safety process is completed. But now the function of family pension is weakening, mainly in family care. Due to the limitation of time, energy and money, taking care of parents makes quite a few people feel overwhelmed.
