Abstract: Abstract China is experiencing the world’s largest and fastest population aging process. Aging poses a systematic challenge to economic growth through the contraction of the labor supply, the transformation of consumption structure, and the transmission of social security pressure. It is urgent to explore the transformation path of the “longevity economy.” This study focuses on the three dimensions of labor supply shrinkage and efficiency decline, the release of silver economy momentum, and the pressure on the social security system. By combining the pilot cases of community elderly care, the innovation path of the silver economy is analyzed; through the research method of quantitative evaluation of the effectiveness of social security reform through policy text, it is concluded that the labor shortage caused by aging forces the intelligent upgrading of industries, and the increase in the contribution rate of the silver economy partially offsets the decline of traditional momentum. Still, the expansion of social security expenditure may compress productive investment.
