2010年到2013年中国劳动力人口将达到9亿人,在这之后“红利”会变成“赤字”,也就是说,这以后需要照顾的老龄人口会迅速增加。据说2030年后的二十年是中国老龄化最严峻的时期。因此,要做好充分准备,好好利用人口红利期来解决严重的老龄化问题。
有报告称,中国是典型的成为富裕国家前就面临老龄化社会的国家。这是长期的问题,也需要很长时间才能解决。中国一直坚持计划生育政策,人口增长的趋势得到了有效的控制。据估计,中国到2030年的总人口将达到14.65亿,届时会面临老龄化和人口出生率下降两大压力,这也一定会给国家的经济和社会发展带来巨大的压力。
这份报告还指出,中国在解决老龄化问题的意识、条件及法规上都严重滞后,因此,必须把这个问题的解决纳入到未来国家发展策略中。我们要及早关注老龄化人口的医疗资源,完善社会保障体系。在老龄人口达到顶峰前,建立一个健全的国家性社会保障机制。
