Program and Policy Implications
China’s Rapidly Aging Population
Over the past two decades, China’s population has been aging rapidly. As a result of China’s “one-child” policy and low mortality, the proportion of elderly citizens will contin-ue to grow very quickly, increasing the stress on an already troubled health care system.
The Division of Behavioral and Social Research at the National Institute on Aging (NIA) supports research on the health of China’s elderly population. This work has contrib-uted to understanding the characteristics of China’s oldest-old (ages 80 and older) and the dilemmas in meeting their health care needs. This newsletter reviews some recent research—both NIA-sponsored and other research—that explores these challenges.
This newsletter reviews some recent research, either sponsored by the U.S. National Institute on Aging or by other organizations, on China's aging population.
