The Multidimensional Impact of Population Aging And How to Address It

The world is experiencing an unprecedented "silver wave." By 2023, the proportion of people aged 65 and over will reach 15.4%, marking the beginning of a deeply aging society characterized by rapid growth, large-scale development, and a rapid aging process before prosperity. Aging is more than a simple shift in age structure; it is an invisible force reshaping the labor market, economic growth models, social security systems, and even family structures. Drawing on authoritative data, international case studies, and local practices, this book systematically analyzes the profound economic, social, and cultural impacts of aging, exploring strategies from policy to individual responses. It aims to provide readers with a comprehensive perspective on understanding and addressing this global challenge, and to contribute to building an age-friendly society.
