It is expected that at the end of the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the aging will shift from mild aging to a moderate stage (accounting for more than 20%). Around 2035 it is Entering the severe phase (accounting for more than 30%). In the face of such a large elderly population, creating a livable elderly care environment is urgent.
