According to statistics, the aging of China's population will approach its peak by the middle of the next century, with the percentage of the people aged beyond 60 making up 27.4 percent of the total. That means one out of every four people will be elderly.
As for the issue of aging, its situation has been growing increasingly severe in spite of the fact most people are still ignorant of the problems it brings about. Firstly, with families becoming smaller and living pace escalating, it is even graver for families to care for aged members adequately. Secondly, aging causes a relative decline in working force in that fewer people have to support the increasing aged people. Consequently, the productivity of the whole society is affected to some extent. Thirdly and most importantly, the aging of population in China resulted from the successful implementation of family planning has not been synchronized with national economic progress.
The rapidity of the population's aging has made it more urgent for the adoption of countermeasures. Importance shall be attached to overall social progress by changing the backward situation in social security, welfare and service. What's more, family care and community services shall also be encouraged.

The chart above shows the change of ways of shopping from 2000 to 2010. As can be seen from the above chart, from 2000 to 2010, the rate of online shopping kept on increasing, from 31.6% to 52.3%, while the traditional shopping fell dramatically from 75.3% to 43.2% occasionally. From then on, both the rate of online shopping and the rate of traditional shopping increased.
It is no difficult for us to come up with some possible factors that underlie the above changes. In the first place, with the development of our economy, people have changed their lifestyles. They did not regard traditional shopping as a good thing. Therefore, the rate of traditional shopping had begun to fall down since 2000. In the second place, with the improvement of both living standards of people and the technique of Internet, people can enjoy shopping online. Thus the rate of traditional shopping had also begun to fall down since 2000 as shown in the chart.
From what has been discussed so far, it can be predicted that the present situation will continue for quite a while in the near future. People will have fewer and fewer traditional shopping, and they will enjoy more and more online shopping. |
