By 2050, about 1/3 of the population in China will be over 60. They’ll be worse off than Japan is.
Doesn’t that kind of news just make you Sikh.
As a followup, the population of China is projected to hit a peak of about 1.415 billion in 2030. It will fall to about 1 billion by 2100.
And they’ll have to care for a huge elderly population. Its going to test China’s political, human and economic resources.
They have bright people but its going to be a huge job.
Here's another graphic that will blow your mind: India - with nearly 5x our population - superimposed on the USA.
We could easily have 3 billion people in the USA with room to spare.
Remember all those alarmists that were telling us in the 1970s how we were overpopulating the planet and would soon (by the 1990s) run out of food and resources? Well these same people have moved on to another fake scare called "global warming."
speaking of India, how could their population be expanding when its so full of disease, poverty, hunger,abandonment of girl children.....
“It will fall to about 1 billion by 2100.”
Impossible. That book about the “Population Bomb” (or whatever) said every square foot of earth would be covered by people by then.
I wonder if the “problem” of an aging population is worse due to socialism? Obviously a nation needs people of working age to build, make and do things to contribute to the nation’s GDP. But it seems that the real concern is who is going to give the elderly their money to provide for their care, and who is going to prop up the base of the population pyramid scheme.
Let’s make a deal, sending our illegals over there to care for their elderlies...

My wife's mom is in assisted living. It seems that practically all the help is Asian or hispanic. Not that any are illegals, I highly doubt that any are. Just saying it seems that Asians and hispanics are good at caring for elderly people.
Yeah, sending our illegals to China and India to care for their elderly is a win for both sides.
There are more people in India without indoor plumbing than there are people in the United States.
It’s a giant sewer.
This thread is boring without at least one rickshaw and one pic of a ball of electrical wires on power poles in some Indian city. Thanks in advance.
It wouldn’t be a smart move on their part.
You the man thank you so much! I have never figured out how to post pictures on here I guess I’m too stupid.
“We could easily have 3 billion people in the USA with room to spare. “
No thank you very much. Please go hang yourself.
“Just saying it seems that Asians and hispanics are good at caring for elderly people.”
They’re paid to do this and once they reach the tipping point in population they won’t be so nice. They’re here for the civilization that has been built
