綠皮書指出 我國人口負(fù)增長時代即將到來

China's population will peak in 2029 at 1.44 billionbefore beginning a period of "unstoppable" decline, a government report says.

一份政府報告指出，我國人口將在2029年達(dá)到14.4億，然后開始進(jìn)入“勢不可擋”的衰退期。

The China Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) studysays the country must implement policies tohandle a smaller workforce and an olderpopulation.

中國社會科學(xué)院的研究表明，中國必須實施政策，以應(yīng)對勞動力減少及老年化。

Both changes combined could cause "very unfavourable social and economic consequences", the report says.

該報告稱，這兩項變化相結(jié)合可能會導(dǎo)致“非常不利的社會和經(jīng)濟(jì)后果”。

Latest UN estimates say China has a population of 1.41 billion. In 2015 the world's mostpopulous country ended its one-child policy in a bid to tackle the problems.

聯(lián)合國最新估計稱，中國人口為14.1億。2015年，這個世界上人口最多的國家終止了獨(dú)生子女政策，以解決這些問題。

The study appears in CASS's Green Book of Population and Labour.

該研究發(fā)表在中國社會科學(xué)院的《人口與勞動綠皮書》中。

Working population numbers were now stagnating, it said, with a low fertility rate set tocause further issues.

該綠皮書指出，勞動力人口數(shù)量目前停滯不前，低生育率將導(dǎo)致進(jìn)一步的問題。

By the middle of the century, China's population is expected to drop to 1.36 billion -- a fall inthe labour force of close to 200 million.

到本世紀(jì)中葉，中國的人口預(yù)計將下降到13.6億，其中勞動力人口將下降接近2億。

If fertility rates stay low, the population could drop as low as 1.17 billion by 2065.

如果生育率保持低水平，到2065年人口可能會下降到11.7億。
