The age structure of the population is an important factor affecting economic growth.The aging of the population is the change in the age structure of the population caused by changes in fertility and mortality over a period of time,which increases the proportion of the elderly population in the total population.At present,the aging of the population has become a common problem in all countries of the world and affects the economic growth of the country or region.Therefore,it is important to study the impact of population aging on economic growth.The research in this paper first introduces the background of population aging,and further illustrates the research significance of this study.Next,the related literatures at home and abroad are sorted out,and the methods and technical routes of this research are given.Then,this paper defines the concepts,standards and measurement indicators of population aging,and introduces the theory of population policy change,population aging and economic growth.Secondly,it analyzes the status of population aging and economic growth,and analyzes the changes of population aging and economic growth from the time dimension.Thirdly,empirically test the impact of population aging on economic growth,and build a panel measurement model.The panel data of China's 30 provinces from 2002 to 2016 will be returned according to the national,eastern,western and central regions.The results show that there is a negative correlation between population aging and economic growth across the country,but there are differences between regions.The population aging in the central and western regions is negatively related to economic growth.The population aging in the east is positively related to economic growth.relationship.Taking into account the important role of human capital in economic growth,the introduction of the cross-section of population aging and human capital investment,the study found that population aging has deepened the role of human capital in promoting economic growth.In other words,under the background ofpopulation aging,increasing human capital investment has a significant role in promoting economic growth.Finally,based on the results of empirical research,the conclusions of this study were formed.According to the conclusion,it puts forward suggestions for dealing with the aging of the population.First of all,we should cautiously understand the impact of population aging on economic growth.There are regional differences in the impact of population aging on economic growth.Regional factors should be considered in response to population aging.Second,we should increase investment in human capital.In addition to the aging,aging has also brought opportunities to develop aging industries,and the government should actively act to guide the development of aging industries.
