Synopsis

With the implementation of an open-door reform policy and accelerating industrialization, China is witnessing a momentous demographic shift. This social restructuring of the population, characterized by the rapid aging of its citizens, will lead to a variety of urgent problems, among which aging and retirement remain at the core. China is different from the West in that it is not what sociologists call "an employee society"; thus, aging does not necessarily mean retirement, and vice versa.
