Abstract: Abstract Today, China is still the most populous country in the world. By the end of 2015, China’s population reached 1.37 billion, accounting for 18.7% of the total world population. However, China is now experiencing a changing population structure as a result of falling birth rates and the start of an ageing population. This chapter discusses China current level of preparedness for its population ageing and a case study of Beijing on the current and potential needs of the elderly and the supply of old-age people oriented products and services.
