Living Arrangements of the Elderly in China: Evidence from CHARLS
Population is rapidly aging in China. The number of people 60+ is expected to reach 30% of the population in 2050. Unlike developed countries where almost all elderly have access to social security, family has been the main source of support for Chinese elderly, especially in rural areas where the majority of Chinese elderly reside.
