Influencing factors analysis and development trend prediction of population aging in Wuhan based on TTCCA and MLRA-ARIMA

Abstract

With the rapid development of the economy, the problem of population aging has become increasingly prominent. To analyse the key factors affecting population aging effectively and predict the development trend of population aging timely are of great significance for formulating relevant policies scientifically and reasonably, which can mitigate the effects of population aging on society. This paper analyses the current situation of population aging in Wuhan of China and discusses the main factors affecting the population aging quantitatively, and then establishes a combination prediction model to forecast the population aging trend. Firstly, considering the attribute values of the primary influence factors are multisource heterogeneous data (the real numbers, interval numbers and fuzzy linguistic variables coexist), a two-tuple correlation coefficient analysis method is proposed to rank the importance of the influencing factors and to select the main influencing factors. Secondly, a combination prediction model named Multiple Linear Regression Analysis-Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average is established to predict the number and the proportion of aging population in Wuhan. By using the statistical data of Wuhan in the past 20 years, this combination prediction model is used for empirical analysis, and a prediction result of the number and the proportion of aging people in Wuhan in the future is obtained. Based on these quantitative analysis results, we propose some countermeasures and suggestions on how to alleviate the population aging of Wuhan from aspects of economic development, pension security system design and policy formulation, which provide theoretical basis and method reference for relevant population management departments to make scientific decisions.

Temporal trends in lung cancer mortality and years of life lost in Wuhan, China, 2010-2019

“…By the decomposition method, this study discovered that the population aging and the population growth were two main factors contributing to the severe burden of lung cancer deaths in Wuhan. According to previous studies, the average annual growth rate of people aged over 60 years old in Wuhan was 3.00% since Wuhan was listed as a city with an aging population in 1993 ( 19 ). By the end of 2017, the number of older adults over 60 in Wuhan had accounted for 20.95% of the total population, which was much higher than the international standard of 10% ( 20 ).…”

Assessing the Disparity between Supply and Demand of Green Spaces by Elderlies based on GIS – Taking Wuhan, China as an Example

“…Wuhan is among the Chinese cities that entered the aging society relatively early [9]. According to the United Nations, an aging society is one where people aged 60 and above make up more than 10% of the total population [10]. By the end of 2022, the city's old population, aged 60 and older, reached 1.9895 million, comprising 21.30% of the overall population, [11] indicating that Wuhan has stepped into the deep aging society.…”

Urban population prediction based on multi-objective lioness optimization algorithm and system dynamics model

“…In recent years, scholars have applied time series methods to population forecasting 30 , 41 , 42 . ARIMA 43 , 44 is one of the typical time series models. The problem with ARIMA is that it has strong requirements for data and needs to meet numerous assumptions when dealing with issues 22 .…”
