increasing average age
urbanization
reduced emigration
population growth

Answer 1

The demographic shift resulting from China’s one-child policy is the **increasing average age** of the population. This policy, implemented in 1979 and relaxed in 2015, led to a significant reduction in the birth rate, resulting in a larger proportion of older individuals in the population over time.
