Abstract: Globally, the issue of population aging is becoming increasingly prominent, posing significant challenges to sustainable economic development. In this context, this study utilizes provincial panel data from 2001 – 2021 to thoroughly examine the effects of population aging on sustainable economic development. The findings indicate that population aging exerts a notable negative influence on sustainable economic development, while green finance plays a moderating role by effectively alleviating the adverse effects of aging on the economy. This suggests that green finance is a viable strategy for addressing the challenges associated with aging. Additionally, the heterogeneity analysis reveals significant variations in the impact of aging on economic sustainability across regions with different levels of economic development and population structures. This study not only offers new insights into the complex effects of population aging on economic development but also provides crucial empirical evidence for crafting targeted regional policies.
