The third transformation is demographic: the fallout from China’s official one-child policy, which will cause the working-age population to start declining in the mid-2010’s. This will cause economic growth to slacken, complicating effective management of China’s domestic problems, which range from deep income disparities to the lack of political institutions capable of channeling popular grievances and demands.
第三个转变则是人口：中国长期奉行的独生子女政策将导致劳动人口数量在2010年代中期开始下降。而该现象将阻碍经济的发展，也令中国国内问题的有效治理更加复杂化，其中包括巨大的贫富收入差距以及缺乏能够疏导民众愤怒并传达需求的政治体制。
