China Passes Law Protecting Elderly

This article is an interesting read. It seems that there is a growing number of people over age 60 in China. Statistics show that there are currently 179 million elderly residing there and by 2030 that number will double. Following three decades of the one child per family law there are also fewer young people to care for the elderly. Perhaps we can learn something in the United States as China makes it a law that adult children visit their elderly parents.
