As the result of birth control and improvement of medical care, supporting the old has become an issue of china today.
because of the different culture and traditio, supporting the old is different from country to country. for instance, british is a developed country and the problem of supporting the old is solved very well these years. the government takes a series of measures to solve the problem and also pays a lot of money for the old every year in order to make them live better.in china, because of its tradition, the old people are mostly supported by their children. but our government and our society are taking measures to support the old.
as the development of economy and society is so rapid that we believe the system of our country to support the old would be perfect one day.
