摘要
本文回顾新中国70年以来人口的变迁历程,详细梳理相关的理论以及政策研究文献,从多个角度来探讨人口增长率变化的原因,总结分析当前中国面临的老龄化挑战,以期得到适合中国国情的政策应对方案。文献分析表明:当前的人口老龄化问题主要是由于生育率过低导致,而长期执行的计划生育政策,特别是一胎化政策,不能够完全解释60年代以来生育率的持续下降;工业化的发展,社会福利体系的完善,养子成本的迅速上升,都是导致生育意愿下降的重要原因。在此基础上,文章主要结论是:在"人口转型"的大背景下,低生育率的形势往往难以逆转,通过放开生育限制或财政补贴鼓励生育来提高生育率的作用会相当有限,大批量放开移民的政策也不符合中国的国情;根据当前的实际情况
        This paper reviews the facts about the population dynamics in China in the past seven decades,summarizes the relevant literature and policy analysis,discusses the driving forces behind thesedemographic changes,and provides policy recommendations in dealing with the aging challenges.Based on the literature review,the paper finds that the current trend towards an aging society is a consequence of low fertility rate.The long lasting demographic control policies in China cannot fully explain its fertility decline since the 1960 s.Industrialization,improving social welfare,and the escalating child raising costs are all important contributing factors.In light of these views,this paper concludes that,due to"demographic transition",with the social and economic development,the low fertility rate is really hard to be recovered.Policies such as releasing the birth limit,or subsidizing child|raising will not be effective.Attracting international immigrants is not an option,either.In the current situation,one feasible option is to extend the retirement age.But even this one will not solve the problem completely.In the long|run,the best strategy China should consider is to improve human capital accumulation,and increase the allocative efficiency of its labor.Only after more profound reforms in the labor market,can China effectively cope with the aging challenges,and transform its"demographic dividends"into "talent dividends".The paper provides an important reference to appreciate China's current demographic situation,and to design effective policies that should suit in the context of China.

    (1)人口自然增长率指在一定时期内(通常为一年)人口自然增加数(出生人数减死亡人数)与该时期内平均人数(或期中人数)之比,用千分率表示。计算公式为:人口自然增长率=(年出生人口-年死亡人口)/年平均人口*1000‰=人口出生率-人口死亡率。

    (1)1934年,法国人口学家阿道夫·兰德里(Adolphe Landry)也提出了相似的观点,他发现出生率下降与地区经济持续增长同时出现的现象较为普遍。美国人口学家佛兰克·诺特斯坦(Frank Notestein)在20世纪40和50年代进一步发展了这一理论,并用人口转型的角度对其他国家的人口趋势进行预测。

    (2)根据2015年美国农业部营养政策与促进中心测算,对于一个美国中产家庭抚养一个孩子到17岁平均需要23.36万美元,而在英国抚养一个孩子到21岁平均需要22.92万英镑,分别达到了当年家庭收入中位数的4.5倍和6倍。
    (3)“世代交替水平”之所以高于2,是因为儿童在成长过程中可能出现夭折的情况。综合各国儿童死亡率的情况,国际上一般把TFR=2.1作为维持代际人口数量不变的生育率。
