China’s era of rapid economic growth dated from 1979 until about a decade ago. Main drivers were: rapid growth in the working-age population; increased participation; employment; longer working hours; and rapid productivity growth.

And the fourth seems unlikely to re-accelerate sufficiently to offset this.
