Population aging is a significant challenge for Asia, but it also presents opportunities for economic growth and social development.
The impact of population aging on economic growth is complex and depends on a variety of factors, including the age structure of the population, the level of education and skills, and the availability of labor-saving technologies.
Population aging can lead to labor shortages and a decline in the labor force participation rate, but it can also lead to increased productivity and innovation.
Population aging can put a strain on social welfare systems, but it can also lead to a more equitable distribution of income and wealth.
