Beijing’s population expected to become super-aged by 2035

Beijing's population is expected to become super-aged by 2035, meaning that a significant proportion of its residents will be aged 65 or older. This shift has significant implications for China's economy and workforce, as a super-aged population typically leads to a decrease in the labor force and an increase in healthcare costs. Chinese policymakers have made population planning a key part of the country's economic strategy, and this development may require them to reassess their approach to support an aging population.

Why it matters

China's aging population will lead to a shrinking workforce and increased healthcare costs. This could slow down economic growth and reduce consumer spending.
