Factors Shaping the Future of China's Military

In this report, the authors consider how China's demographic changes will affect the People's Liberation Army (PLA) and China's broader society. They consider factors that influence military eligibility, compare China's youth population and population projections with those of the United States, and consider how other relevant factors are likely to influence the PLA's ability to recruit and to transform its military into a more modern force.
