Abstract:
By the end of 2014, China had an elderly population age 60 or over totaling 212 million; this group accounted for 15.5% of the country's total population of 1.37 billion, which means that China has passed the threshold for an aging population.

Adapting to the changing composition of society by age will present new challenges.
