| Population aging is a significant feature of the world’s population structure.At the same time,the industrial structure is facing optimization and upgrading.The change of age structure has a significant impact on the industrial structure.The development of intelligence promotes the industrial structure to a more advanced and more reasonable direction.On the basis of collating relevant documents at home and abroad,this paper deeply explores the transmission mechanism among population aging,intelligence,and the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure;Propose theoretical hypotheses;Define the lower age limit of the elderly and the degree of population aging is depicted by the old-age dependency ratio;The optimization and upgrading of industrial structure is measured by the weighted value of labor productivity of three industries with the weight of industry proportion;Describe intelligence from the perspective of intelligent infrastructure investment,intelligent core technology and intelligent economic results;Construct an econometric model and use provincial panel data to conduct empirical research,to test the proposed hypothesis one by one;Summarize the research conclusions and put forward relevant policy suggestions.The main conclusions of this article from theoretical and empirical research: Population aging will affect the industrial structure from three aspects of consumer demand,capital supply and labor supply;Population aging will not only hinder the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure,but also hinder the upgrading of tertiary industry;Although the emergence of intelligence cannot change the status quo that population aging hinders the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure,it can weaken this negative impact;The increase of education level and income level will promote the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure;The increase of trade openness,road infrastructure,marketization level and employment will hinder the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure.This paper provide a new explanation for population aging hindering the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure,reveal that intelligent development can effectively cope with the negative economic problems caused by population aging.It also opens up a new path for promoting the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure in the new era Therefore,this article has strong theoretical and policy guiding significance. |
