A Hint to China: the Experiences of Coping with Population Aging in the UK
The UK is the first industrialized country in the world and an aged country. Rich experiences have been gathered in the process of coping with population aging, such as postponing retirement age, promoting active aging, utilizing international migrants, adopting employment-centered social policy, and developing human resources. These measures have successfully addressed social and economic problems during the population aging process, though meanwhile the pension system is facing great financial crisis and the arriving immigrants their cultural adaptation. China could learn from the UK its de-powering policies which let the executive take the responsibility of supplying public services, its stepwise pension system as well as a low-price and widely covered medical insurance system.
