“…The response to population aging has become a global issue, which not only affects the health and care of the elderly population ( 1 , 2 ) but also brings challenges to the elderly's retirement life, such as insufficient pension and short supply of the elderly service industry. As for China, the Central Committee of the Communist Party and the State Council initiated the document of National Medium and Long Term Plan for Actively Responding to the Aging of Population (the “Plan” for short) in November 2019, which indicates that coping with population, aging has become a national strategy in China.…”

The document, National Medium and Long Term Plan for Actively Responding to the Aging of Population points out that in order to actively respond to the aging population in China, it is necessary to steadily increase the endowment wealth reserves. To achieve this goal, it is urgent to stochastically assess the future financial situation of the basic pension insurance in China, grasp its various possible conditions, trends, and corresponding confidence intervals, so that the government can take targeted measures to gradually consolidate the wealth reserves for this basic insurance first, and then steadily increase the social wealth reserves for the elderly. Thus, this paper first analyzes the characteristics of the aging population of insureds participating in basic pension insurance, and then randomly simulates the long-term financial situation of the basic pension insurance. The study found that the aging of the insureds has the characteristics of “fierce coming and slow decline” and “long-term seriousness.” Among the six indicators of the financial situation of basic pension insurance, Indicator 1 (the current year's expenditures as a proportion of current year's contributions), Indicator 2 (current year's balance of contributions and expenditures), Indicator 3 (current year's payment gap as a proportion of current year's contributions), Indicator 4 (accumulated balance), Indicator 5 (fund ratio), and Indicator 6 (accumulated payment gap as a proportion of current year's contributions) are respectively in the range of [0.73%, 1.80%], [−12.05, −0.12] trillion yuan, [0.29%, 3.89%], [−133.39, −5.62] trillion yuan, [2032, 2043] years and [6.72%, 215.63%] with a probability of 95%. We analyzed the influence direction and degree of main parameters on the financial situation of the fund and analyzed the impact of parameter value paths on the final financial status of the fund to improve the ability to strengthen fund reserve. The backtracking found that if the value path of the average salary growth rate shows a trend of rising first and then falling, then the final financial situation at the end of the period will be “worse.” If it shows a trend of falling first and then rising, the final financial situation will be “better.”

“…A larger number of older adults in a population can also lead to innovations designed to meet the needs of older adults ( National Academies of Sciences & Medicine, 2019 ). Moreover, the community can benefit from the involvement of older adults in volunteer roles within health and social services, for which there is increasing demand ( Calvo-Sotomayor & Atutxa, 2022 ; Healy, 2004 ). However, due to higher healthcare needs in older age groups and a likelihood of lower financial contributions, aging populations can create economic pressures on societies ( Bloom et al, 2015 ; United Nations, 2019 ).…”

Objective This study aimed to investigate perceptions of what it means to ‘age well’ and to explore similarities and differences between a Western and non-Western culture (Britain and Java). Method Qualitative interviews explored how Javanese and British older adults defined ageing well, establishing the similarities and differences between cultures. Javanese (n=14) and British (n=15) adults aged 61-80 (mean age=68) participated. The data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis and organized with NVivo. Results Four themes were identified which captured what it means to age well across cultures: 1) good health is a springboard for ageing well; 2) holding a positive outlook is a decisive factor in ageing well; 3) "having enough" and "feeling safe" provide peace of mind; and 4) spirituality and religiosity provide tranquillity. Although both cultures mentioned similar factors, there were variations in the interpretations and emphasis within themes. For example, Javanese participants emphasized the importance of the social environment while British participants highlighted the physical environment. Discussion Differences between cultures are important for understanding how best to support people as they age. For example, in Java, ageing well may be best supported by providing a vibrant social environment. For people in Britain, having a safe and secure physical environment may be more important.
