Against the backdrop of the increasingly evident global trend of population aging, China, as the most populous country in the world, faces a particularly prominent issue of population aging. Studying the impact of population aging on regional economic development is of great significance for formulating targeted population policies and economic development strategies. This paper theoretically analyzes the impact mechanisms of population aging on the labor market, consumption structure, social security, and technological innovation. Subsequently, it empirically examines the impact of population aging on regional economic development by constructing a regional economic development model incorporating aging factors and applying it to different economic regions of China. The findings reveal that population aging has a negative impact on regional economic development, but the effects on different regions in China show significant differences. Therefore, each region should formulate appropriate policy measures according to its actual situation when responding to the challenges of population aging. This is necessary to guard against potential risks and make full use of the opportunities brought by population aging.
