    • 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.
