　　Aging of the Population

　　Population officials and demographers have muchto worry about China’s increasingly aging population. It is estimated that the proportion ofpeople aged 60 or older in China will rise to 11.8 percent in 2020. By the middle of this century,people aged beyond 60 will take up 27.4 percent of the total population — that means one outof every four people will be senior!

On the other hand, aging causes a relative decline inworking force. Consequently, the productivity of the whole society will be affected to someextent.
