The European Chamber is delighted to announce the summer edition of its flagship macroeconomic seminar Insight China, in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou with the topic "China's Demographic Time Bomb".

China’s population is expected to age rapidly in the next 50 years. Just within two decades, more than almost one-quarter of China's population will be aged over 60. This tremendous demographic shift will have important implications on the country’s potential economic growth, affecting not only the composition of the labour market, but also the workers’ savings and consumption behaviour, putting tremendous pressure of China’s public finances due to increasingly leverage of the pension and healthcare system expenditures.

Due to this demographic time bomb, China's growth and industrial structure is yet to face its biggest challenge to date. The European Chamber has broght together the most eminent China's demographic experts to brief our members in Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou on the  the economic and business implications of China’s getting old and what important policy challenges lie ahead.
