Abstract

Demographic transition and energy conservation are two hottest spots of global concern in the 21st century. At present, there are relatively few studies on the resource effects of demographic transition, and no research system has been formed. Therefore, we take 208 countries as the research object and conduct a quantitative study through a regression model based on C-D production function. The results show that population urbanization promotes local economy. Meanwhile, there is always significant heterogeneity in the resource effects in various urbanization regions. Among them, the resource effects of population urbanization mainly conform to inverted “U-shape” patterns. The spatial heterogeneity of energy consumption structure does not decrease with population aging and population urbanization. Overall, population aging weakens regional energy consumption, while which is offset by increasing population urbanization rates. The resource effects of demographic transition confirm the universality of the EKC law. Our study reinforces the importance of demographic resource effects for regional sustainable development.
