Description
Summary:碩士 === 中原大學 === 國際經營與貿易研究所 === 100 === Population ageing has expanded from, an issue of a few developing-countries, into an international one over the last few years. Researchers have analyzed the impacts and influences following the changes of the population structure with a wide variety of research methods; governments have also adopted related policies and measures to improve or prevent the negative effects brought by population ageing. The present study analyzed the influences of population ageing on the whole economy and the welfare in Taiwan with macroeconomic models and computable general equilibrium (CGE) models. The findings demonstrated that the changes of the population structure in Taiwan lead to negative effects. Indices including real GDP, private consumption, real investment and real imports all show descending trends. In terms of social welfare, the impacts are comparatively slighter, and the wealth gap doesn’t expand. To effectively prevent the harmful impacts accompanying the changes of the population, the government should draw up related policies to abate the negative effects to the whole economy and industry.
