    The line chart depicts that the percentage of those aged over 60 increased
moderately from 6% of the total population in 1990 to 15% in 2010 in China. It
is predicted that the proportion will amount to 25% in 2020 and 30% in 2040.
    Quite a few factors can account for this phenomenon, but the following
might be the critical ones: for one thing, with the implementation of China's
family planning policy and the improvement of people's living standard, fewer
and fewer people are willing to have more children. Therefore, the birth rate
has dramatically dropped, which results in a low proportion of youngsters and a
higher proportion of elders. For another, due to the fact that more hospitals
are equipped with advanced medical instruments and more professional staffs,
many incurable diseases now can be easily cured. As a result, the public can
enjoy an increased life span, adding to the growing proportion of old
people.
    The aging of the population is also a result of social progress and
economic development. However, this phenomenon will be likely to bring about
some undesirable consequences in the future. Hence it is high time that we
figured out some ways to face the up-coming challenges.
