China and South Korea are increasingly recognizing their rapidly ageing populations as a significant shared challenge, which is fostering new avenues for cooperation between the two nations. Both countries face demographic shifts characterized by declining birth rates and growing elderly populations, impacting economic growth and social welfare systems. This demographic trend is prompting strategic economic collaboration, as evidenced by recent India-South Korea economic cooperation initiatives that may serve as a model for China-South Korea partnerships.
