Ageing, the socioeconomic burden, labour market and migration. The Chinese case in an international perspective

No 222, GLO Discussion Paper Series from Global Labor Organization (GLO)

Abstract: China still lags behind Europe along the path of the demographic transition and therefore is still much younger. However, due to the speed with which the fertility rate dropped and life expectancy increased, China ageing process will proceed at a very fast space and around the middle of the century the population of China is projected to be as old as that of France and the UK and older than that of the USA. The paper tries to evaluate the labour market and welfare implications of this process, also by an economic indicator of dependency and socioeconomic burden.
