我國青年人口未來五年將淨減3000萬人

The number of young people in the country will fall by around 30 million by 2022 compared to the figure in 2017, according to a research conducted by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.

中國社會科學院組織的一項研究顯示，到2022年，我國青年人口將較2017年減少約3000萬人。

The research based on data from the sixth national Population census of 2010 showed that China had 548 million people aged between 18 and 44, but the figure will be only 518 million in 2022.

根據這項基於2010年第六次全國人口普查數據的研究，我國18至44歲人口數量爲5.48億，但到2022年這一數字將縮減至5.18億。

The population aged between 18 and 35 will also decline from 366 million in 2017 to 344 million in 2022.

到2022年，18至35歲人口數量也將從2017年的3.66億下降至3.44億。

Li Jianxin, a sociologist from Peking University, carried out a separate research based on the UN's "World Population Prospects: The 2010 Revision" and arrived at similar results.

北京大學社會學家李建新根據聯合國的《世界人口展望-2010年修訂版》進行了一項單獨的研究，並得出了類似的結果。

The population aged between 15 and 24 in China will decline from 225 million in 2010 to 178 million in 2020, down 47 million in 10 years, Li said.

李建新稱，我國15至24歲的人口數量將從2010年的2.25億下降至2020年的1.78億，在10年內減少了4700萬。

The group will account for 18 percent of the total population in 2020, down from 23.17 percent in 2010, much lower than the US' 19.91 percent and India's 26.33 percent then.

到2020年，這一年齡段人羣佔總人口的比例則將從2010年的23.17%下降到2020年的18%，低於美國的19.91%和印度的26.33%。

He said authorities should relax the limits on childbirth and encourage the childbearing population to have more babies, and meanwhile reduce the costs of parenting and the burden for supporting the elderly.

他表示，當局應該放寬生育限制，鼓勵生育年齡人口多生孩子，同時減少撫養孩子的費用和贍養老人的負擔。
