According to the United Nations, the World Health Organization definition, when a country or a region 65 years and over population reached 7%, means that the countries have entered the aging society. In accordance with the above criteria, in 1999, China entered the aging society. 1990-2000, China's elderly population aged 65 and over increased by 9.4% and 2000-2010, increased by 27.1%, shows that China's aging rapidly. 1999 when China entered the aging society of the per capita GDP of around $ 1000, while the level of developed countries in per capita GDP reached us $ 5000-10000, which led to the "old before it gets rich." As the ageing rate sharply elevating, this problem will become more and more prominent.

中国正迅速迈入老龄社会 “未富先老”问题越发突出

　　根据联合国世界卫生组织的定义，当一个国家或地区65岁及以上老年人口占总人口比例达到7%，就意味着这个国家或地区进入了老龄化社会。按照上述标准，中国已于1999年提前进入了老龄化社会。1990-2000年间，中国65岁及以上老年人口比重增加了9.4%，而2000-2010年，比重增加了27.1%，表明中国老龄化速度在迅速加快。1999年中国进入老龄化社会时的人均GDP只有1000美元左右，而发达国家是在人均GDP达到5000-10000美元水平，这样就导致了“未富先老”现象。而随着老龄化率的急剧拉升，这一问题势必越发突出。
