Abstract—Recently, as the problem of China’s aging population has become more significant in the past two or three decades, a great deal of attention has been focused on the demographic phenomenon of population aging and its impact. This demographic change has resulted in increasing numbers of people who are over 60. According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, the proportion of China’s population aged 60 and over increased by 5.7 percent from 14.3 percent in 2012 to 20 percent in 2022. At the same time, the number of newborns fell from 16.35 million to 9.56 million. People are beginning to be aware that the serious issue of population aging keeps rolling in and cannot be ignored in the future, which stresses the need for research on the aging population. This paper studies the effects of population aging in Chinese society on China’s economic growth, predicts the trend of future aging circumstances, and proposes corresponding measures to mitigate the aging of the population, which might increase social security rates, improve the quality of life of the elderly, and promote economic growth. Through the research process, the research synthesis method is used to do the comparative study among different literature.

Keywords—economic growth, demographic change, population aging
