通过创业应对人口老龄化对经济的负面影响

DEALING WITH THE NEGATIVE IMPACT OF POPULATION AGING ON THE ECONOMY THROUGH START-UP BUSINESS

西方一些发达国家已经踏上了老龄化之路。最具有创造力和冒险精神的年轻人口比例越来越小,导致创业水平趋于下滑,最终有可能引起经济增长放缓。政策制定者应通过政策调整和制度改革来激励和扶持创业和新小企业发展,以此缓解或消除人口老龄化对经济发展和繁荣的潜在负面影响。税收制度(特别是资本利得税)、公共政策、产学研结合、商业监管制度、移民创业、文化与社会行为标准均能促进创业以推动经济增长。

Some developed societies in the West have embarked on the road of aging.The proportion of young people who are most creative and adventurous is getting smaller and smaller,leading to a decline in start-up business,which may eventually lead to a slowdown in economic growth.Policy makers should encourage and support the development of start-up business and new small businesses through policy adjustments and institutional reforms,in order to mitigate or eliminate the potential negative impact of population ageing on economic development and prosperity.Tax systems(especially capital gains tax),public policies,a combination of production,education and research,business regulatory systems,immigrant start-up business,and cultural and social behavior standards can all promote start-up business and economic growth.
