China will face an unstoppable population decline over the coming decades, with fewer and fewer workers trying to support an increasingly older society.
This result has emerged after a report by a small state-sponsored Chinese bank.
The report, which comes more than three years after China officially completed its controversial one-year policy for just one child, which warns that the subx0 use of negative population growth is almost here”, predicting that the country's population will reach 1.44 billion in 2029.
The Chinese Academy of Social Sciences report suggests that declining fertility rates will lead to a decline in the general population at the 1990s levels of 1.172 billion by 2065. World Bank data from 2017 showed a Chinese population of 1,386 billion.
The working age population has stagnated, says the report, while the proportion of addiction ʹ the number of people working in terms of people who are not working, mainly children and pensioners continue to be overlooked.
“In theory, the decline of the long-term population, particularly associated with the increasing escalation of population aging, is forced to bring very negative social and economic consequences”, said the report, without elaborating on what might result.
