Topic 18: The phenomenon of aging population
From the table chart given above, we can observe that it reflects the statistics of the trend of population in China. From 1990 to 2003, the number of people aged 60 and above increased gradually from 97.19 million to 136 million. While from 2020 to 2050, it will ascend from 230 million to 410 million. From 1990 to 2003, the proportion of people aged 60 and above rose slowly from 8.8% to 10.2%. While from 2020 to 2050, it will rise from 15.6% to 27.4%.
The table chart informs of the phenomenon that the aging population is becoming increasingly severe. What exactly contribute to this phenomenon? Reasons can be listed as follows: for one thing, the authorities have issued some preferential policies to improve senile security’s system, which enables the elders to lead a comfortable life. Moreover, with the improvement of living standard, elderly people in mounting numbers are placing a high value on health care, thus people can live longer than ever before. Moreover, the phenomenon of aging population can also be attributed to the improvement of medical technology, many once-seemingly-incurable diseases could be healed nowadays, which means that people lead a much longer life.
The aging of the population is a result of social progress and economic development. However, This phenomenon will bring about undesirable consequences in the future. By 2035, economists say, there will be two retirees for each worker. Thus, the problem of how to deal with it should be on the agenda. (247words) |
