Deep dives
The Aging Challenge in China
China is facing a significant demographic shift, with an estimated 310 million people aged 60 and above by the end of 2024, which represents 22% of the total population. This rapid aging is primarily due to a declining birth rate and increased life expectancy, resulting in a need to prioritize the quality of life for elderly individuals. The discussion highlights the transition of the elderly population through different care phases—from living independently to requiring assistance from family or institutions. With many elderly individuals living alone or with their spouses, the implementation of smart elderly care technology is becoming crucial to ensure that they maintain independence and receive the necessary support.
