How Can China Deal with the Aging Problem Based on Japans Experience?

Abstract

The ageing problem has become a global trend due to the low birth rate caused by the pressure and cost of raising a baby and the increasing life expectancy resulting from technological improvements. Many countries have taken measures such as promoting the birth rate and delaying the retirement age to deal with this situation. However, the rather disappointing result demonstrates that more sustainable and effective methods are needed. This research compares the solutions to the ageing problem between China and Japan, aimed at providing new ideas and possible directions to the struggle with the ageing problem.
