Abstract: Abstract In the 1980s and 1990s, when the reform and opening-up policy just came into effect, almost all economists, sociologists, and demographers held the view that with the abundant labor resources in rural areas, China would not be short of the labor force in the process of industrialization, as long as the peasant workers who egress from the countryside were fully mobilized. According to the standard formulated at the Vienna World Congress on the aging Problem in 1982, the percentage of old people aged 60 and above making up more than 10% of the total population marks the entry of the aging process. The aging population of China occupied 5% of the total population in 1982, which meant it was still an adult society.
