Population Structure Changes, Macroeconomics, Response StrategiesAbstract
In today's society, multiple factors influence macroeconomic development, among which changes in population structure play a significant role. Due to socioeconomic developments and shifts in birth attitudes, changes in population structure have occurred globally, not only in the number of people but also in aspects such as age structure, urban-rural distribution, and educational levels. To some extent, changes in population structure directly impact the labor market, where an increase in the elderly population proportion and a decline in the working-age population pose new challenges. Furthermore, an aging population demands higher requirements for social security systems, putting significant pressure on government finances. Therefore, in-depth research on the impact of population structure changes on macroeconomic development and the formulation of corresponding policy response strategies are crucial for promoting sustainable economic development and maintaining social stability.
