La population en âge de travailler chinoise a diminué en 2012, marquant le début d’une tendance qui va s’accélérer au cours des deux prochaines décennies et aura des implications profondes pour la deuxième économie du monde.
Fin de décembre, la population de la Chine âgée entre 15 et 59 ans était de 937,27 M, soit une diminution de 3,45 M par rapport à 2011, selon les chiffres publiés par le Bureau national des statistiques de Chine vendredi. «En 2012, pour la première fois, nous avons vu une baisse de la population des personnes en âge de travailler … Nous devons faire très attention à ce fait», a déclaré Ma Jiantang, chef du Bureau national des statistiques.
« Il ya des opinions différentes quant à savoir si cela signifie que le dividende démographique qui a tiré vers le haut la croissance en Chine depuis de nombreuses années est maintenant à sa fin », a-t-il ajouté, notant que ce n’était que le début d’une tendance à long terme dans la population en âge de travailler, laquelle diminuera chaque année, d’ici au moins 2030.
