人口老齡化

　　中國正面臨著人口老齡化和低出生率這些發(fā)達(dá)國家擁有的問題。在商業(yè)領(lǐng)域這些問題則顯得更加緊迫。創(chuàng)業(yè)的一代人正在老去，但他們很難說服自己的孩子來繼承遺產(chǎn)，繼續(xù)經(jīng)營他們的企業(yè)。對家族企業(yè)來說，落實一個清晰有效的繼任計劃(succession plan)是一個令人頭痛的問題。雖然有很多原因可以解釋這種不情愿繼任的情況，但商業(yè)環(huán)境的惡化(deterioration)已被證明是主要因素之一。

　　參考譯文:

　　China is facing the developed world's problems of an ageing population and low birth rate.These problems have taken on even more urgency in the business community.The founding generation is getting older but having great difficulty persuading their children to carry on their legacy and keep their business running.Putting in place a clear and effective succession plan is a headache for family-run businesses.While there are many reasons to explain such reluctance,the deterioration in the business environment has been proven to be one of the main factors.
