300
is the number of senior citizens over 65 years of age that there will be for every 1,000 people of working age in China by the early 2030s.
Such a high ratio of senior citizens to the working-age population is common in rapidly aging countries such as Japan (360), Germany (316), and Italy (309). By comparison, in Russia today, there are fewer than 200 senior citizens per 1,000 people of working age.
These data are presented in a report by Evgeny Andreev, Leading Research Fellow at the HSE Institute of Demography, entitled ‘China’s Demographic Prospects’. More on the results of the study can be found on the OPEC.ru website (in Russian).
