China's leaders are trying to find ways to battle what many economists have described as a demographic ticking time bomb.
A slowing economy, shrinking government benefits and a decades-long one-child policy have created a creeping demographic crisis in Xi Jinping's China.
The pension pot is running dry and the country is running out of time to build enough of a fund to care for the growing number of elderly.
Over the next decade, about 300 million people, who are currently aged 50 to 60, are set to leave the Chinese workforce.
So can China afford to grow old?

China, Korea and Japan are facing same issues.
BBC has covered Korea and Japan's population issues in the past 😃
Although one major difference is that Korea and Japan have already crossed the threshold between developing and developed countries, i.e. having more resources to take care of their old people. China needs to invest more on social benefits. It is really sad to see old farmers having no pension to rely on.
@@trungduong4040The country has far more important things to invest in.
Actually most of us are.

Get old before geting rich, a disaster
😂😂😂 That is life everywhere, no everybody is rich and end up rich pension lifestyle. I am sure you haven’t seen from BBC yet the western style of ageing population and who looks after them .
Apparently, you are either to scared or ignorand to watch other videos of Europeans living in CHINA....looks a lot wealthier, vibrant than US UK Japan and EU dying economy!

China is fine with lower population. 1.4 billion was very high. So the population is in the process of decreasing, this was inevitable. Lower population growth is sign of progress of a civilization. Lesser population will require lesser land,resources and services.
Actually when a population shrinks, the proportion of retired people increases, which means the country's workforce is smaller, and tax revenue for the government is proportionally lower. This happens at the same time that the financial cost of caring for elderly people continues to increase, because there's more and more old people in care homes. It's not "fine", it's actually highly damaging to a country's economy and will lead to a decreased quality of life for elderly people, because the country can't afford to give them the care and services that they need. The ability of the society to function disintegrates. It's already happening in Japan and South Korea, and the governments there are panicking because of how big a threat it is to the survival of their countries. Shrinking into nothing is not progress of a civilization. It's the end.
@@paradigm_recalescence You are exaggerating. China has more than enough young,qualified workforce to sustain their current economic growth for several more decades. The problem before used to be too many college graduates and not enough jobs for them but now that problem will gradually be solved with the lower population growth. And providing pensions and other services to retirees will also not be a big problem as long as China maintains its current economic strength. You just have to do the math. The growth of Chinese population since the 1970s was abnormal. The drastic improvements in technology and medical care enabled the population to get ridiculously huge but that trend has ended. It was inevitable. Now since the Chinese on average are highly educated and have high living standards, the population is growing at a more normal level. An educated and rich population generally has lower population growth, this is trend everywhere in the world when a country is in process of becoming a developed country from a developing one. So yes, lower population growth is sign of progress of a civilization in this case.
@@cosmicwanderer891 You really don't have any knowledge or understanding of what's actually happening in China right now. Their population is not "growing at a normal level", it's shrinking. Their population has shrunk 2 years in a row since 2022. This is not normal, and you're naive to think that it's normal. Do some research into the economic pain Japan and South Korea have already experienced because of population shrinking, and you'll begin to understand. The problem of too many college graduates in China is still present and it's getting worse. They stopped publishing youth unemployment data because it's getting so bad. "providing pensions and other services to retirees will also not be a big problem" That statement really speaks volumes about your understanding of basic economic principles. It's quite clear that you don't have any experience of how pensions schemes function. If a country shrinks so much that 75% of people are aged 70 and above, where do you think the tax revenue to provide for those elderly people going to come from? You done the math on that one? The fact that it's unsustainable is staring you in the face, but you can't see it. I can tell that you're very young, maybe 15-20 years old, so it's forgivable. Study more.
@@paradigm_recalescence What Absolute nonsense! China produces around 2.5 million STEM Graduates every year which is way more than the entire G7 combined. China is a world leader in High Tech. And their industries are already well ahead of everybody else when it comes to robots. China is the manufacturing power of the world. They outproduce the USA, Brazil, India & Japan combined. So many ignorant Westerners really haven't got a clue about China & fall for all the Western MSM lies & propaganda who are very biased against China.
@@cosmicwanderer891eventually thier economy wiil grow slowly, They will compulsory reduce thier production ,look like china going to another japan
Sure they can. Are we forgetting about the millions of the Chinese population living abroad? They're not idiots, they know exactly what they're doing 😆
No Chinese person would return to mainland there's no future there
one more important is the pension dispense is unfair for the elderly in rural area. the elderly in cities can get more than 3000 RMB per month after they retired, but the elderly in the rural area, all of them are farmers, only can get 120 RMB per month. these farmers had done a huge contribution for food supply during the tough time in 1960s and 1970s, but when they are old, they just can get 120 RMB per month. however, compared with the old farmers, the government staffs, they can get 7000-10000 RMB per month after they retired. it is disgusting how this country treat their farmers who had paid lots of grains to the country freely for bring up the whole nation.
The Chinese government has reformed the pension schemes. There are three schemes for urban, rural and government people. The average pension in China in 2021 for rural residents is 129 yuan and for urban residents - 2.5 thousand yuan s). This social benefit is indexed annually. The growth rate of the average wage in the province is used as the input for the recalculation. Cost of living in rural areas is far less than urban areas. Rural residents also get free basic medical care and are also reimbursed for many other medical costs.
@@teflerchina.2987 you missed the average pension of government retired staffs. and apparently, this reform of pension scheme is very unfair for the rural area farmers.
@@pipiqiqi4010 Its the same in most countries where government workers get more pension cash than ordinary citizens. Also. Over 60% of retirees in Taiwan have insufficient pensions | Taiwan News | RTI
@@teflerchina.2987 but there are no countries like China the government staffs get 50-80 times of the pension of farmers. don't forget the farmer can get at least 5000 RMB pension per month after they retired in Taiwan.
The urban/rural divide remains one of the biggest issues. These rural grandparents also often had two sets with kids, their own and their grand kids. Now they rely on reciprocal care...from offspring that has long left.

A lesson about letting government have too much control
Sure economists knew this when they introduced the one child policy anyway... why state the obvious 😬
If they didn't have that policy, china population be 5 billion 🤣
@@alanarmstrong6460 no, the now 60+ generation(with near dozen brothers/sisters) already fight/fought each other to illness/sickness for small pieces of land, they already knew/experienced that the land could not support so many ppl's belly/appetite/livelilhood/wellness (the improved yeild per unit of land only lead to less nutrition per unit of food, and the heavy use of pesticides/herbcides that prevents insect from eating the precious food only further degrade the quality of food, and the pollution(toxins) that's brought by the 'modern' development is all into the soil and water, then absorbed by the food, further endangering their health and the dusts on the non-concret roads back in the days due to development needs blown by cars/trucks sickened a significant portion of ppl who live along side the road, as every piece of land is/was farmed/harvested by living ppl, the land also grow old along with that generation, as ppl get farmed, and the ppl don't want to feel getting farmed, the land gets farmed instead, it's the food chain, till the land dies out eventually, then the hyper train stops)
Actually every developed country suffers from an ageing population look at Japan, especially Korea, Italy, Germany and so on. You can't blame it only on one child policy when it's a pattern among developed countries.

No only China specifically. All countries in the world is facing the same issues. Some countries choose to bring in migrants and become citizens and silent about its aging and negative growth population.
It’s worse in China than anywhere else, though. You don’t get a faster collapse in the birth rate than you get with the imposition of a draconian One Child Policy. China is also worse at attracting immigrants than almost any other country. Infamously immigration-averse Japan brings in 100x as many immigrants per year. And that’s the raw number. On a per capita basis, you can add another zero to that figure.
This is a natural occurrence in every developed and advanced society with a modern infrastructure and economy.
Except China is not advanced and this is self-inflicted due to one child policy and corrupt systems that’s wasted all the gains they made by taking advantage of the WTO and a lot of countries
One child policy is not a natural or advanced part of society

I think aging population is a concern everywhere. How to better take care our seniors should be discussed globally, it is not country-specific.Imagine what would happen to India when its current generation grows old. I believe the only way is a peace treaty amongst countries. I know it is far stretched but imagine how much resources can be saved if countries are not at throat of each other. I think NATO of the world in which one country is invaded means all are invaded can be the only model for us to survive. I am a believer of multilateralism. I think if the West is confident about its value system. It should allow the test of time not test of weaponry.
With high speed 6G wireless network and advanced AI assistance, China will automate many labor intensive tasks now and the future. With declining population due to aging population, Chinese government will free up more resources for national developments.
Whatever your views on immigration, the lack of it will be East Asia's undoing in the 2040s, 2050s. Western nations might be as wealthy compared to East Asia as it once was in the 1950s.

aging itself isn't the problem. what they are really trying to say is a population that's old, sick, unproductive, consuming and living. sad but true
Same issue applies to pretty much all countries now but I think we will get hit worst than China because firstly many of our stuff are imported from China and secondly we have free health care services, they don’t.
How long do you need to see a doctor for a diagnosis? We only need one day to understand the cause of our disease
Free? We pay through National insurance and then have to pay for prescriptions. Most people in China have medical insurance that cuts the costs of any treatment. Some prescriptions are reimbursed or cheaper than many other countries.
They have a better health care system than USA.

Of course they can. In the years to come they will find solutions. Besides...what will AI bring us? How many jobs will disappear?

You get Super rich or super poor. It’s extremely poor if you live in the less developed countryside.
Because there is still a lot of poverty in China. The rural parts are nothing like the glitzy cities you see.
China is basically a developing country with a few showpiece city centres such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. On balance the average Chinese is no where near as affluent compared to a citizen of a Liberal Democracy.

The BBC has after all those years still not a clue how off-putting and patronising their ridiculous overdubbing is. I suppose all that wokeness comes at a price. The price of common respect and decency.
The median age for China and its citizens is just under 40 years. For S.Korea it is 45 and Japan it is 49, The U.S and U.K are 39 and 40 respectively. Not a lot of difference between the latter two and China. Most Chinese citizens don't live from pay cheque to pay cheque because they save for the long term. Many also have private pensions. My wife is Chinese and she has paid into a private pension fund which she will receive when she turns 60. According to recent statistics, about 65% of retired persons in Taiwan have labour pensions of less than NT$20,000 per month. That’s only US$720. That’s less than the average monthly expenses per person in Taiwan. The U.K is raising the retirement age because there is not enough cash to pay pensions and the population has a slowing birth rate. S.Korea and Japan also have a demographic problem with few children being born.In the latest figures released by the S Korean government on Feb. 28, 2024 that number sunk to a new low-from 0.84 children per couple in 2022 to 0.81 in 2023. By 2024, the rate is projected to fall even further to 0.68. Japan’s fertility rate, which the average number of children per woman, is 1.3.
So incredibly short-sighted
Would love to visit China the people seems lovely
At least Japan got richer before it got older.
China is richest btw . You are using made in china to type that WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Two years into office, President Donald Trump authorised the Central Intelligence Agency to launch a clandestine campaign on Chinese social media aimed at turning public opinion in China against its government, according to former US officials with direct knowledge of the highly classified operation. Three former officials told Reuters that the CIA created a small team of operatives who used bogus internet identities to spread negative narratives about Xi Jinping’s government while leaking disparaging intelligence to overseas news outlets. The effort, which began in 2019, has not been previously reported.

Not really. Almost every other country is higher on prospective immigrants’ lists than China. Chinese is infamously difficult to learn (especially written Chinese), and China’s draconian restrictions on transferring money abroad make working there largely pointless. Add in sketchy rule of law, and China is a distinctly unappealing destination for prospective immigrants.
@@yopyop3241 With high speed 6G wireless network and advanced AI assistance, China will automate many labor intensive tasks now and the future. With declining population due to aging population, Chinese government will free up more resources for national developments.
@@wildfire8126 There are serious doubts about that strategy working out for wealthy countries that excel in robotics and have free access to AI chips. China is still largely poor, contributes less than 1% of the value-added to the global robotics industry, and has been cut off from AI chips. Seems unlikely for that strategy to succeed in China, but we’ll see. I can imagine it possibly working in the first tier cities. Beyond that, not so much. That brings up the question: How far can inequality stretch in China before something breaks?

It makes one wonder why the Chinese made such a bloody fuss about Covid lockdowns, as Covid would have gone some way to alleviating the problem.
how very psychopathic of you!

1. if older people less than other country, China donot improve medical care, all odler people donot treat well, no human right in China. this is terrible than others, China will collapse 2. if China older people become more and more, Can China afford to grow old? their ecomonic will face big problems, China will collapse.
They just need to open the border for immigrants, the way western economy have done it!

I thought bbc is banned in China? Didn’t they kick u out bbc?🤔
They only block the news reports.
They should be considering all they do is push anti-Chinese propaganda. The BBC were once caught filtering a picture in China to make the trees look greyer on a British You Tuber who lives in China & shows his audience what China is really like, not the BBC's biased propaganda.
proxy channels, the news presenter is from CNA
They should be, all they do is put out negative propaganda about China.

China is the fifth-highest robot density country in the world, with 392 units per 10,000 industrial workers. It is preceded by South Korea（1012）, Singapore（730）, Germany（415）, and Japan（397）. These are all countries with very low birth rates. You must know that this is based on the reality that China is the world's largest industrial country, and its industrial output value is the sum of the following five industrial countries. At the same time, this data is still improving, which will help ensure that China's industry continues to be strong, which is the main source of China's wealth. However, China's service industry may experience a labor shortage, which may be solved by robots and the introduction of labor.
China’s contribution to the global robotics industry is less than 1% of the value-added. The plan is for imported robots to rescue China?
@@yopyop3241 From January to November 2022, China's industrial robot export volume was 147,000 units, with an export value of US$380 million, and its import quantity was 97,000 units, with an import value of US$1.25 billion. Objectively speaking, I am not very satisfied with China's robot industry, but three facts must be made clear: First, China’s robot industry is not in the first echelon, but its output and export volume are not weak and are growing rapidly--With this import-export ratio alone, China’s share of the robot industry is far more than 1%, Not to mention that China also consumes a large number of self-produced robots, so don’t lie; Second, as the world’s largest country in terms of robot stock and new installations, and the fifth largest country in robot density per capita, China’s consumption accounts for more than half of this multi-billion dollar market. the customers of industrial robots must be industrial powers. To put it bluntly, except for industrial powers such as China, USA,Japan, South Korea, Germany, the United Kingdom, and France,etc. who would want robots? After finally having a huge market like China, do we need to worry that there will be no foreign manufacturers to satisfy it? Third, This is one of the few industrial categories in which Western countries still have a clear advantage. I believe that Japanese and American robotics companies will be very angry at your remarks that stimulate Chinese robotics companies. Do Chinese companies need to fill every corner of the world?
@@jishe8957Less than 1% of the value-added. The value of those robots being exported from China must come overwhelmingly from other countries. China probably contributes final assembly labor and low value items like fasteners and structural elements while the high value items like microchips, sensors, software, etc. come from other countries.

We could learn from Japan in terms of ageing population They’re doing quite well
Japan was rich and is still high gdp per capita while China is still consider developing plus China has 1.4 billion people to feed
Japan is now worst than China in terms of aging population and low birth rate…
@@VoiceBootcampInc India is 7 times poorer than China and will face aging population in 2050 at this rate
@@baha3alshamari152 With a projected GDP growth of 6.1% in 2023 (IMF), India has become the world's fastest-growing economy. Not just that, our GDP has expanded 9x since before liberalization. And our per capita GDP has grown 5.5x. Also, India has a very high birth rate, the young work force will put them in a very strong position going forward, it’s very likely they will over take China but the time you’ve mentioned here.
nah, with AI and humanoid robots coming, you will see the crimes increase 10x, already unemployment rate is highest in endia@@boobopish

Not enough workers? Automate. Old people expensive to maintain? Just don't maintain them.
Just take some indian youth from here if u r willing to give a job which have fair pay then they may settle there
Biggest ageing population? Bias much? China has one of the most populous countries so they're the 'most' and 'biggest' of a lot of things.

@@zsusugioro6506 where is proof cia bot ? WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Two years into office, President Donald Trump authorised the Central Intelligence Agency to launch a clandestine campaign on Chinese social media aimed at turning public opinion in China against its government, according to former US officials with direct knowledge of the highly classified operation. Three former officials told Reuters that the CIA created a small team of operatives who used bogus internet identities to spread negative narratives about Xi Jinping’s government while leaking disparaging intelligence to overseas news outlets. The effort, which began in 2019, has not been previously reported.
If u have population problem. Immigration is the key!! This is what we do in the west, we also get fewer kids. But the newcomers seem to get many🤗
Migrants migrate to wealth. Not to poverty. Migrants from Pakistan and Nigeria, go to higher wages in Europe. Not to lower wages in China. China can't get immigration. No matter how much they want it.
Nope most of Asian countries don't want one trash bin in many garbage bags. West cannot solve bunch social problems like crimes, multicultural and muti religions and mixed race's.
If your country cannot 'afford to grow old' then you need a new monetary system.

That’s their transitional clothes. Like Scottish men wear skirts. It’s very disgraceful to attack another race’s culture. In fact, many foreigners traveled to different parts of Asia just to see their traditions.

Afford to? lol, hate to break this to you, but when you chose capitalism, you surrendered the option of "affording" to do anything. you can either pay or not. there is no free lunch.
