美国人口普查局最近预测,2025年亚洲60岁以上的人口将达到4.22亿。 同时,社会劳动力在总人口中所占比重将持续下降,换句话说,亚洲地区将更趋老龄化。 亚洲的传统是一对夫妇生育较多的小孩,大儿子永远不离开家,几代人就这么生活在同一屋檐下。家中的长者掌管钱财,并在家庭成员中进行分配。这一模式绝非亚洲的独特产物,在任何前工业社会里都存在类似的模 The U.S. Census Bureau recently predicted that by 2025, the number of people over the age of 60 in Asia will reach 422 million. At the same time, the share of social labor in the total population will continue to decline, in other words, Asia will become more aging. Asian tradition is that a couple has more children and their eldest son will never leave home, and generations will live under the same roof. The elderly in the house control the money and distribute it among family members. This model is by no means a unique product of Asia and a similar model exists in any preindustrial society
