ABSTRACT=Population aging is getting enlarged in the upcoming decades. Meanwhile, old-aged longevity and dependency are getting large due to improvement in life expectancy. In literature, it is claimed that old-aged dependency affects the well-being of society. Thus, the study intends to explore the impact of population aging on human well-being. The study adopts the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach for empirical analysis by using time-series series data from 1990 to 2020. The study findings reveal that an increase in population aging reports a significant and decreasing impact on human well-being. However, an increase in health expenditure reports a significant and increasing impact on human well-being. Thus, China must pay attention to population aging to improve human health.
