In this regard, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said on the same day that the demographic dividend of a country depends not only on the total quantity, but also on the quality; it depends on both the population and the talent. China has a population of more than 1.4 billion, of which nearly 900 million are of working age. The average number of years of education for the working-age population has reached 10.9 years, and the number of years of education for the newly added labour force has reached 14 years. At the same time, China implements a national strategy to actively respond to population aging, promotes the three-child birth policy and supporting measures, and actively responds to changes in population development. As Premier Li Qiang pointed out, China's demographic dividend has not disappeared, and the talent dividend is taking shape, and the development momentum remains strong.
