2. Population aging is the inevitable trend and law of population development in China.
Like other countries in the world, China's aging population is an inevitable result of the modernization process. The age structure of China population changed from "young" to "old" in the late 1970s. By the end of last century, China officially entered an aging society.
China's population aging presents the following main characteristics.
The large scale of the elderly population brings pressure to the construction of the old-age security system and the development of medical care. China has a huge population base, and the size of the elderly population will remain high for a long time. By the end of 20 15, the number of elderly people aged 60 and over in China has reached 220 million, ranking first in the world, accounting for about 1/4 of the total number of elderly people in the world.
From 265438 to the first half of the 20th century, the scale of the elderly population in China will continue to climb. This requires that the expenditure of social pension fund, the design of social security system, the construction of supporting infrastructure and the construction of old-age service system should be based on the overall size of the elderly population, continuously improve medical and health services, and accelerate the development of prevention and treatment of senile diseases and health care for the elderly.
