Abstract

In recent years, the aging of the population structure has attracted widespread attention from governments worldwide. Population aging refers to the trend that the proportion of the elderly in the total population continues to rise. According to the definition of the World Health Organization, when the proportion of people over 60 years old in the total population reaches 10%, or the proportion of people over 65 years old reaches 7%, that indicates the threshold of an aging society; when the proportion of people over 65 years old reaches 14%, this means the official entry of an aging society; if the proportion reaches 21%, that means the entry of a super-aging society.
