This PDF is an ESCAP Policy Brief (Issue No. V) th This PDF is an ESCAP Policy Brief (Issue No. V) that analyzes the rapid and unprecedented ageing of populations in East and North-East Asia (ENEA)—including China, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Mongolia, and the DPRK—and explains how this demographic change will affect the region’s ability to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
It highlights that East and North-East Asia is the fastest-ageing region in the world, already home to 56% of all older persons in Asia-Pacific and 32% of the world’s elderly. The brief warns that ageing in this region is happening much faster than it did in Western countries, giving governments less time to adjust policies.

📌 Key Points of the Document
1. Unprecedented Speed of Ageing
France took 150 years for its population aged 65+ to rise from 7% to 20%.
Japan took only 40 years.
China and Korea will take 35 and 30 years, respectively.
Older persons in ENEA will increase from 190 million (2015) to 300+ million (2030).

🌍 2. Impacts on Sustainable Development Goals
The brief connects population ageing to several SDGs:
A. Rising Inequality & Elderly Poverty (SDGs 1, 5, 10)
Despite economic growth, elderly poverty is high.
Relative poverty among people aged 65+:
Japan: 19.4%
Republic of Korea: 49.6%
OECD average: 12.4%
Women suffer more: “feminization of old-age poverty.”

B. Pressure on Public Expenditure (SDGs 1, 10)
Age-related spending (pensions, healthcare, long-term care, unemployment benefits) will dramatically increase:
Country 2010 2050 (forecast)
China 5.4% 15.1%
Japan 18.2% 21.3%
Korea 6.6% 27.4%
Governments face major challenges in:
Pension reform
Tax increases
Intergenerational fairness

C. Vulnerability of Older Persons in Disasters (SDGs 1, 11)
Asia-Pacific is disaster-prone.
During the 2011 Japan tsunami:
90% of disaster-related deaths were people aged 70+.
Older adults must be included in DRR policies, drills, and evacuation planning.

D. Unmet Need for Long-Term Care (SDG 3)
More elderly-only households
Adult children living far from aging parents
Workers quitting jobs to provide care
Cases of older persons dying alone (Japan, Korea)
China has a law requiring adult children to visit aging parents
Population Ageing in East and N…
Governments must define shared responsibility between:
Family
Community
Government services
E. Gender Inequality in Old Age (SDG 5)
ENEA overall performs poorly on gender equality:
Global Gender Gap Index rankings:
Mongolia (56th)
Russia (75th)
China (91st)
Japan (101st)
Korea (115th)
Gender inequality translates into:
Lower pensions for women
Higher poverty
Poorer social protection
Population Ageing in East and N…
F. Shrinking Labour Force (SDG 8)
Working-age populations are declining sharply, except Mongolia.
Countries like Japan are trying to fix this by:
Increasing women’s workforce participation
Encouraging older persons to stay in the labor market
But:
Many older people want to work
Jobs suitable for them are limited
Population Ageing in East and N…
G. Lack of Age-Friendly Environments (SDGs 11, 16)
Older adults need:
Accessible transport
Inclusive housing
Assistive technology
Safe public spaces
Social participation opportunities
The brief stresses the need to combat ageism and create environments where older persons are active contributors, not passive dependents.

⭐ Overall Conclusion
Population ageing in East and North-East Asia will heavily influence progress on all major SDGs. The region must adopt innovative, inclusive, and urgent policies addressing pensions, healthcare, long-term care, labor markets, gender equality, and age-friendly environments.
ENEA countries are the first in human history to experience ageing at such speed—and their response will serve as a model for the rest of the world as other countries follow the same demographic path.... |
