According to the population change forecasts for each age group from 2015 to 2030, the fastest growing population is the elderly.

Among them, the population aged 0-64 will increase by 11%, the population aged 65-79 will increase by 64%, and the population aged 95 and above will increase by 140%.

In the process of aging, the speed in Asia appears to be faster.

Nancy Morrow-Howell said that if the proportion of the elderly population aged 65 and over in the total population is measured, it would take Singapore 19 years, China 26 years, and the United States to increase this proportion from 7% to 14%.

69 years, France needs 115 years.

According to data provided by the University of Washington, by 2050, the number of people over 65 years old in China will increase from 100 million in 2005 to 329 million, and the number of people over 80 years old will reach approximately 120 million.

Aging poses all-round challenges to society, such as the economic security of the elderly, the management of multiple chronic diseases, the provision and support of long-term care and care services, including family care and employment care, and social emotional and mental health.

One way to solve the problem of population aging is to increase the fertility rate.

my country began to implement the comprehensive two-child policy in January 2016. Based on a 1‰ sample survey, the National Bureau of Statistics estimated that the national birth population in 2016 was 17.86 million, an increase of 1.31 million over the previous year.

This is also the highest number of births since 2000.

But this number is still far from what was previously expected.
