Chinanews, Ma. 1st - Yesterday, the Ministry of Civil Affairs revealed
that China's population of 60-year-old and above had reached 134 million,
accounting for over 10 percent of the total population. The population of
65-year-old and above was 110 million, accounting for 8.5 percent of the
total. So far, 70 percent of the elderly population in China are
scattered in rural areas. The aging of China's rural population is
particularly striking.
It was revealed that China's population is aging faster than expected,
and this trend would continue. The aging population has created a series
of social problems�Ca decrease of society's labor force leading to
heavier social burdens on the diminishing workforce. This issue will
likely become a major factor affecting China's economy.
