Age concern China's ageing population increases

摘要

1. China's ageing population will put increasing pressure on the country's pension system over the next 40 years. 2. The effort to maintain sufficient pension and social security payments may constrain economic growth in the longer term, potentially increasing social dissatisfaction. 3. An ongoing deterioration of the pension system could undermine the popularity of the ruling party, although it remains well placed to control any protests.
