RE: China's Population Crisis / 中国的人口问题
It might do but sadly I think the current generation of elderly people may end up suffering whilst they wait for technology to keep up. Japan seems to lead the way with this because they have been taking this issue seriously for a couple of decades but since everything is made in China I doubt they will be far behind:) Politicians will have to listen and put more government funding into these kinds of developments and care too since older people are some of the best voters so that is at least one positive as well.
Well said. My only worry is that at the end of the day it will boil down to governmental budgetary constraints, as funding may not be able to cater for everyone's needs.
Because of the sheer amount of people and services needing to be run all at once, which costs will have to be sacrificed? Even under immense political pressure from the people to solve this demographic crisis, it may well mean "cutting off an arm to save a leg." I see some tough decisions ahead.
