Abstract: Population aging and migration are two important phenomena in the process of social development in China, which have a significant impact on industrial structure upgrading. This study explores the moderating effect of the population migration on the population aging impacting the industrial structure upgrading based on Chinese provincial panel data from 2000 to 2021. The results demonstrate that the population aging has become a development trend of China’s population, and it has a significantly hinder industrial structure upgrading. Furthermore, the population migration resulting diffusion and convergence of economic factors has a meaningful moderating effects on the population aging impacting the industrial structure upgrading. Our study suggests that a reasonable and orderly population migration is critical in achieving stable and sustainable industrial structure upgrading, especially in the context of the China’s population aging.
