"包道格和其他不少学者都注意到,导致日本陷入长期衰退的一些问题中国迟早也难以
避免。其中一个就是人口结构。美国东西方中心学者麦克•萨顿(Michael Sutton
)的一个研究发现,中国的人口增长率过低,在一些主要人口指标上的走势上看,如总
生育率等,中国还不如美国,甚至低于日本。再加上中国老龄化速度很快,中国经济增
长的活力将因此受到很大的制约。萨顿说,'如果日本在人口压力下变得失去了活力,
那么中国也不会例外。'
My comment: On Nov. 18, 2010 Economist published a special report on Japan,
with cover like this. The same (but much smaller) image was beside a summary
(called Leaders, located in the first pages of each issue of the magazine).
The future of Japan / The Japan syndrome; The biggest lesson the country
may yet teach the world is about the growth-sapping effects of ageing.
