title: A survey report on the life cycle of the Chinese elderly.
abstract: "In August 1992...the Chinese-Japanese Survey Group on the Life Cycle of the Elderly conducted a sample survey on the life experience and status quo of the elderly in Zhejiang Province and the City of Shanghai, which covered 1,583 urban and rural elderly at or above the age of 60....[The aim was to] not only help change the attitudes towards reproduction among women at child-bearing age, but also contribute to a well-drafted development program for the elderly care system in China so as to prepare the country for the situation after the 2020s when the parents of only children become senior citizens."
