2021년 중국 고령화율(65세 이상)은 14.2%로 고령화 사회를 넘어 고령 사회로 진 입했다. 32년간 견지했던 산아제한(1가정 1자녀) 정책을 2021년에 출산 장려정책으로 전환했지만, 노동인구 100명당 노인부양비율은 21.1로 급등하고 있다. 조사 결과, 양 로에 대한 부모·자식 세대간 인식이 다른 것으로 나타났다. 독생자 부모 38.45%, 비 독생자 부모 46.35%는 양로가 자녀책임이라고 했으나, 자녀의 76.65%는 본인들 책임 으로 꼽았다. 독생자녀를 둔 부모의 66.1%가 사구양로(재택양로)를 선택했으나, 다자 녀 가정 부모 70%는 가정양로를 선택했다. 분석 결과, 결혼 후 무자녀 혹은 둘째를 낳지 않을 경우, 중국 양로 문제 해결에 부정적 영향이 클 것으로 분석됐다.
In 2021, China’s aging rate (over 65 years of age) was 14.2%, entering an aged society beyond an aging society. Although the birth control policy (one child from one family) that has been maintained for 32 years has been converted to a policy to encourage childbirth in 2021, the elderly support rate per 100 working people is soaring to 21.1. As a result of the survey, it was found that the perceptions of parents and children about supporting the elderly were different. 38.45% of parents of single children and 46.35% of parents of non-single children said the elderly was responsible for their children, but 76.65% of their children cited it as their responsibility. 66.1% of parents with single-child children chose ‘SheQu’ elderly support(community home-based elderly support), but 70% of parents from multi-child families chose home-care. As a result of the analysis, it was found that if you do not have any children or have no second children after marriage, it will have a significant negative impact on solving the problem of the elderly in China.
