Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - The Greying of the Middle Kingdom : the demographics and economics of retirement policy in China

Notas: China is about to undergo a stunning demographic transformation. Today, China is still a young society. In 2004, the elderly - here defined as adults aged 60 and over - make up just 11% of the populaton. By 2040, however, the UN projects that the share will rise to 28%, a larger elder share than it projects for the United States. In absolute numbers the magnitude of China's coming age wave is staggering. By 2040, assuming current demographic trends continue, there will be 297 million Chinese elders, which is more than the total current population of France, Germany, Italy, Japan , and the United Kingdom combinedRegistros relacionados: En: European papers on the new welfare : the counter-ageing society. - Trieste, Geneva : The Risk Institute. - nº 4, February 2006 ; p. 56-70Materia / lugar / evento: China Demografía Política social Análisis demográfico Sistemas de pensiones Esperanza de vida Jubilación Otros autores: Howe, Neil
