Populația din Beijing va ajunge la un nivel de „super-îmbătrânire” până în 2035

Beijing is projected to become a "super-aged" city by 2035, with one-third of its population aged 60 or older. The Chinese government is facing significant costs to boost birth rates amid a declining and aging population. As of last year, nearly a quarter of Beijing's residents were already seniors. The city is increasing support for the elderly, including pension enhancements. China's declining birth rate poses challenges for economic growth and pension sustainability, following decades of strict population control policies. Recent measures include imposing VAT on contraceptives to encourage larger families.
