Abstract: Abstract The stable demographic structure that has been maintained for many years in industrialized countries has been broken since the beginning of the twentieth century. Afterwards, the developing countries underwent similar changes. Caused by the decline in the population growth rate and the increase in life expectancy, population aging has become a worldwide phenomenon. China has completed the transformation of population reproduction and population structure and entered the rank of countries with low fertility level in only forty years of reform and opening up, while the developed countries took one century and ever longer to undergo the same process.
