Abstract

In this paper, pressures of population and labor shortage to be faced by the People’s Republic of China (PRC) will be analyzed based on the situation of East Asiaeconomic integration. A solution with new opinions about the PRC’s labor and population strategies is proposed accordingly. Meanwhile, considering the situation of labor shortage and the degrading of population quality in the PRC, a strategic policy plan is suggested to restructure the PRC’s labor forces in short, medium, and long terms.
