Abstract

The aging problem brought by aging has become a great challenge for all countries in the world, and since the 20th century, all modern countries in the world have taken coping with population aging as a basic national policy. Population aging is the global population trend development. For a considerable duration, it will remain a fundamental characteristic of China.

Despite its limitations, this systematic
