China to promote more balanced elderly care system to assist aging population

China will roll out efforts to promote a more balanced elderly care system during the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-2030), with lawmakers proposing more comprehensive care solutions and financing to be allocated to assist the country's aging population.

With nearly one-in-four people aged over 60 and life expectancy on the rise, China is facing one of its biggest social tests in the coming years. Measures to tackle this growing issue were outlined at the "two sessions" political meetings in Beijing, where Chinese lawmakers laid out targets and commitments to build a stronger social safety net and empower seniors.
