I. Economic aspects
1. Labor shortage:
The biggest impact of population decline on the economy lies in the reduction of labor force, which is also a major problem that restricts the economic development of all countries. Population decline leads to productivity decline, and labor shortage will affect all industries. In this case, enterprises often need to pay higher wages to attract and retain workers, which leads to an increase in the cost and economic burden of enterprises.
2. The consumer market has become smaller:
With the decrease of population, the consumer market becomes more limited, and the decline of commodity sales will inevitably affect the development of various industries.
3.GDP growth slowed down:
Population decline will affect a country's GDP growth rate and tax reduction, and will also have a serious impact on government operation opportunities and resource allocation.
Second, the social aspect.
1. Increased social burden:
Population decline may also lead to an increase in social burden. For example, the social security system faces an increase in life insurance burden, while medical insurance, SSI and supply problems may bring more problems.
2. Lack of human resources:
The number of people with greatly increased age will increase rapidly, while the number of staff who can provide nursing and medical services is close to or below the minimum level.
3. Uneven distribution of resources:
The pressure of economic contraction will lead to the reduction of employment opportunities, the reduction of urban and rural scale, and may lead to the imbalance of capital resources, thus further aggravating the degree of social differentiation.
Third, the political aspect.
1. Decline in international status:
Population decline will make a country's position in the world decline and its influence in the world weaken.
2. Adjustment of national strategy:
Politically, the population decline will inevitably lead to the adjustment of the national strategy, and the country needs to re-formulate its goals and plans and adjust its orientation and development direction.
Therefore, population decline has had a serious impact on our lives, including economic, social and political aspects. The government and citizens must make plans to meet these challenges, eliminate adverse effects and achieve sustainable development.
