Care for the elderly in China

Every so often I promise not to talk about the Chinese one child policy again and then along comes a new resource and I am forced to give in!
If you click on the population pyramids, you will link to an excellent article on the Population Reference Bureau's website which explores one of the consequences of the policy - the ageing of the population and the problems for the economy of long term care for the elderly. Don't just read it - take some notes and file them in the correct place in your folders!
