Lin notes that 2016 will be a pivotal year when both the elderly population and the population of under-15s will reach 3.2 million. After 2016, the demographic structure will be turned upside down, and the elderly population will continue to grow as the young population continues to spiral down.
林萬億指出，2016 年將是交會的關鍵年，屆時我國老年人口與 15 歲以下的幼年人口將同時達到 320 萬人，此後，人口結構翻轉，老年人口持續上升，而幼年人口持續下滑。
