Abstract
As the country with the largest number of people in the world, ageing issues in China have long attracted the interest of social researchers and planners. Although China has in the past been rather erratic in its population policies, stressing at one time the benefits to be reaped from a large population but reversing it since the end of the 1970s and restricting each family to one child, it has all along showed a keen interest in the well-being of its elderly population.
