Abstract
The main purpose of this dissertation is to show
the process of future population aging in China and to analyze
the problems that China will face in the coming decades to
support the elderly. A rapid aging process and a large quantity
of the elderly population as well as a great share of the
elderly in the total population are the three most important
characteristics of population aging in China. The baby-boom in
1950s and 1960s and the rapid decline in fertility as a result
of the implementation of the family planning policy, especially
of the one-child policy, since the end of the 1970s are
contributing to the rapid aging of population in China. The
decrease of mortality and increase of life expectancy help the
process of population aging which is characterized by temporal
and spatial imbalances among regions as well as between cities
and villages. The rapid population aging in China will lead to
significant difficulties in supporting its large quantity of
elderly people. Traditionally the family is the main supporter
of the elderly. After the Chinese Communist Party came to power
the work units in cities and the collectives in the rural areas
mainly supported the elderly. Since the economic reform und the
opening policy towards the West China witnesses great economic
and social developments which change the condition of old age
support once again. The government, especially the state-owned
enterprises in cities and the collectives in rural areas,
lessen their role in social security. The dependency of the
elderly on themselves und their family increases. But the
function of families to support the elderly is weakening
because of the decline of family size as a result of family
planning policy, the now common separation of the households of
married adult children and their parents as well as the
increasing mobility and work pressure on the middle generation.
Given an economic level as a developing country the Chinese
government can only supply the elderly with limited support.
Therefore, the state, family and the elderly themselves must
work together to solve the problems of old age support. The
dissertation aims at developing a framework to methodologically
analyze the problems of an aging population in China. The
future trends and the problems of old age support in China are
the result of demographic, economic and social developments.
Future problems of old age support can be predicted through
observation of the development in old age support, an analysis
of the factors behind this development as well as their
possible development.
