‘SOCIAL PROBLEMS’

TAKING CARE OF MUM AND DAD IN CHINA

by WILLIAM FOREMAN

“The population in China is aging very, very rapidly,”

“It is becoming a major public policy concern.”

“Traditionally in China, elderly people relied on their families to take care of them. “The state would only step in if individuals didn’t have the support of

the family,” “

“In 1945, life expectancy was like 45 at birth in China,” Li-ang said. “Nowadays, it’s like 73 and 74, so people are living

longer and you have fewer family to look after you.”

February 25, 2012

“Shanghai’s population is mind-blowingly huge: 23 million people.”

“An additional 9 million are what’s called the “floating population.” They’re the migrant workers and their depen-dents who drift in and out of the city, working in factories,

on construction sites and in the service industry.”
