Demographic shifts in aging populations result in a higher median age and a greater
dependency
ratio.
Aging populations experience a decline in labor force
participation
due to retirement.
Aging populations have lower healthcare needs compared to non-aging populations.
False
Aging populations are those with an increasing proportion of older
adults
Aging populations have a lower labor force
participation
What are some strategies to address the economic impacts of aging populations?
Later retirement, productivity, reforms
Match the economic impact with its effect on aging populations:
Labor Force Decline ↔️ Decreased productivity
Increased Government Spending ↔️ Higher dependency ratio
Economic Growth ↔️ Slower pace
Dependency Ratio ↔️ Increases
Encouraging later retirement can reduce the dependency
ratio
Aging populations have the same demographic profiles as non-aging populations.
False
The dependency ratio is lower in aging populations than in non-aging populations.
False
Declining birth rates increase the proportion of younger people in a population.
False
Government spending on pensions increases in
aging populations
.
True
Labor force participation is higher in aging populations than in non-aging populations.
False
Median age is higher in aging populations compared to non-aging populations.
True
What is the impact of declining birth rates on aging populations?
Reduces younger population proportion
The economic impacts of aging populations include a decline in the labor
force
What is one societal impact of aging populations related to healthcare needs?
Greater demand for services
What is the goal of promoting productivity in aging populations?
Offset labor force decline
Aging populations are characterized by an increasing proportion of adults aged 65 and
above
Aging populations typically have a higher
median
age compared to non-aging populations.
Arrange the factors contributing to aging populations in order of their impact:
1️⃣ Declining birth rates
2️⃣ Increased life expectancy
Match the factor with its impact on aging populations:
Declining birth rates ↔️ Reduces the proportion of younger people
Increased life expectancy ↔️ Increases the proportion of older adults
Economic growth in aging populations is slower due to a shrinking labor
force
.
What are the two main drivers of aging populations?
Declining birth rates and increased life expectancy
What statistical data do demographics describe?
Population characteristics
Increased life expectancy contributes to a higher
median age
in aging populations.
True
What happens to the labor force in aging populations compared to non-aging populations?
Decreases
Declining labor force participation in aging populations can lead to potential
skills shortages
.
True
