NEW YORK, May 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- According to the UN standard (the elderly people aged over 60 accounting for 10% of total population or the elderly people over age 65 occupying 7% of total population in one region), China entered the aging society early in 1999. By the end of 2014, China's population aged over 60 reached 212 million, making up 15.3% of total population, and the people aged 65 and above hit 138.1 million, or 10.1% of total population.
To deal with rapidly aging population, the Chinese government incorporated the issue of aging into the National 12th Five-Year Plan, and has introduced a number of favorable policies and laws & regulations from 2012, including the Opinion on Comprehensively Pushing Forward the Home-based Care Services, the Opinions on Accelerating the Development of Social Services for the Aged, the Guidance on Land for Old-age Service Facilities, and The Executive Opinion on Encouraging Private Capital to Participate in Old-age Service Industry Development.

The Chinese aged care market is now worth about RMB4 trillion, and is expected to surge to RMB13 trillion by 2030.
