浅析我国未富先老问题及其影响

Study on the Problems and Influence of “Getting Old before Getting Rich” in China

人口老龄化正成为不可忽视的全球趋势。自20世纪以来,全球各经济体,尤其发达国家老龄化程度不断加深。随着经济发展程度提高,科技创新水平提高,生产力水平急速上升,人口出生率下降,我国的人口老龄化趋势明显,解决人口老龄化问题已经迫在眉睫。作为发展中国家,我国目前的经济发展水平,与已达到较高老龄化程度的发达国家仍有差距,存在明显的未富先老现象,未富先老带来了诸多负面影响。要缓解未富先老,则需平衡我国社会经济发展与人口老龄化的关系,从个人层面、社会层面、国家层面全面推进老龄友好化社会建设。

Population ageing is an unavoidable global trend. Since the 20th century, the world’s economies, especially developed countries, have experienced an increasingly aging population. With the im-provement of the level of economic development and technological innovation, the level of prod-uctivity has risen rapidly, the birth rate of the population has declined, and the trend of popula-tion aging is obvious. The problem of population aging has become nonnegligible. However, as a developing country, China’s current economic level still lags behind that of developed countries. There is an obvious phenomenon of getting old before getting rich. This phenomenon creates a lot of negative impact problems. To alleviate the problem of getting old before getting rich, it is necessary to balance the relationship between social and economic development and population aging. We need to comprehensively promote the construction of an age-friendly society from the perspective of individuals, society and the country.
