13 provinces?60 years old +? population over 20%, Shandong has the largest number of elderly population, which means a few points, first of all, the impact of the labor force, will increase the burden of the working population. Secondly, the pressure of old age medical insurance is relatively large, will bring a very heavy financial burden to the government. In addition, the consumption structure will also face some transformation. ? In addition, there will be a regression in science and technology innovation.?

Recently, data show that population aging is accelerating, and there are already 13 provinces where the proportion of people over 60 years old exceeds 20%. Among these provinces, Shandong has the largest number of elderly people. And an aging population means a series of implications.

First of all, the impact of labor force, will increase the burden of the working population. Because the labor force mainly relies on young people, if the elderly population is particularly large, it means that the young population is relatively small, then there will be a shortage of labor, but also make the current working population feel more burdened. For some companies and businesses, there will even be a lot of job gaps.

Secondly, the pressure on old-age medical insurance is relatively high, which will put a very heavy financial burden on the government. Because if there are more elderly people in our country, then it means that we have to spend more in the area of old age health care, according to estimates, the elderly consumption of health care resources is generally five times that of the rest of the population, the government will face a heavier financial burden.

In addition, the consumption structure will also face some changes. After the increase in the elderly population, the demand for leisure, consumption of elderly services and tourism will be higher, and a lot of money may be shifted to the consumption of the elderly, which will lead to a decline in investment in production and slower economic development. This is because for young people, the direction of their consumption is basically different from that of the elderly, mainly in catering and entertainment.

In addition, technological innovation will also regress. This is because the concepts of the elderly are more backward, and their ability to innovate is also insufficient. Young people make a greater contribution to social innovation and are the backbone of innovation, mainly because young and middle-aged people are also more innovative, so technological innovation in the economic construction may experience a delay.

The above is a series of impacts that population aging may bring.
