Abstract
Since China began to implement the national policy of family planning, the long-term low fertility rate has made China enter a typical aging society quickly. The population aging has led to a continuous decline in China's effective labor force, reducing social capital, and the impact on social employment is not optimistic. Under this circumstance, the Chinese government should appropriately use the population policy to slow down the aging of population, reasonably extend the retirement age to activate the resources of the elderly, adjust the capital accumulation policy actively to develop social productivity.
