  1. People who talk about China's ageing population blaming it on the one child policy and thinking that the solution is for Chinese people to have more children is missing the point Even if all the retirees in China died spontaneously and China's population is reduced by 1/3, they are still left with a young population that has more people than the US and Europe combined The problem isn't with China having a shortage of young people. The problem is with China having a surplus of old people. These are two very different problems that require different solutions, but most pundits confuse the two Or to put it in a more crass manner, the problem isn't that young people aren't being created fast enough, instead the problem is old people aren't dying fast enough The solution, therefore, isn't to encourage young people to have bigger families The solution is to leverage technology and policies in order to make it easier to care for the elderly
