Proactively responding to population aging has always been a major governmental strategy.Taking the Yangtze River Delta region,which is more developed and has more aging population in China,as the analytical point,based on the panel data of Anhui Province,Zhejiang Province,Jiangsu Province and Shanghai from 2000 to 2020,this paper explores the evolution of population aging in this region by u-sing entropy method and ArcGIS10.8 software visualization function drawing.It suggests that from 2000 to 2020,the comprehensive index of Shanghai's aging degree is always on the high side,with the largest increase in Jiangsu Province and the smallest increase in Zhejiang Province,and the overall comprehensive index of aging degree shows a rapid upward trend.Based on the above conclusions,we should take a posi-tive attitude and practice to deal with the aging of the population.We should start with the implementation of supporting policies related to aging,improve the multi-pillar social security system,improve the multi-level service mechanism,establish a health-supported system,optimize the supply paths of high-quality aging care,and promote the development of aging care industry,so as to provide with development strate-gies related to aging population,as well as avoid the aging problem hindering social development and social stability.
