Since human appeared on the earth, it has a history of 4 million years, human constant struggle with nature, play to their creativity, to transform the nature, development productivity, slowly and comply with the laws of nature, finally climbed to the top of the food chain, as the ruler of the earth. Humans have changed the nature, only to find that the power of human is so small, the human will never be able to overcome the natural, human excessive exploitation and utilization of resources, damage to the earth's environment pollution, now we are punished by nature, all kinds of natural disasters, all kinds of invasive species, all kinds of strange disease.
So we have to correct their attitude and identity, the survival of the earth is our home, we have to be kind to their homes. As humans evolved, continuously improve productivity, we constantly improve the living standards, from the beginning human problem of adequate food and clothing to the further pursuit of human spirit to enjoy now, come, people face more social problems.

The aging of the population
In the 20th century, great changes have taken place in life expectancy. The average life expectancy extended for 20 years, from 1950 to 66 years old, is expected to extend to 2050 for 10 years. Population structure and the rapid progress of the 21st century the rapid growth of the population means that the population will be over the age of 60 in 2000 from about 600 million in 2050 to nearly 2050, expects global designated for elderly population accounts for the ratio of will be increased from 10% in 1998 to 15% in 2025. In developing countries, the largest and fastest growth over the next 50 years, the country's aging population will grow for four times. In Asia and Latin America, delimit for elderly population will increase from 8% in 1998 to 15% in 2025, but in Africa, during the same period the proportion is expected to increase from 5% to only 5%, but by 2050, this proportion will be doubled. In sub-saharan Africa, the fight against AIDS, and continued to struggle against economic and social poverty, therefore this will only reach half that level. In Europe and North America, during the period of 1998 to 2025, defined as the proportion of the elderly will be increased from 20% to 28% and from 16% to 26%. The population of the global changes have in all aspects of individual, community, national, and international life have a profound impact. Every aspect of human, social, economic, political, cultural, psychological and spiritual - will produce change.



At present is undergoing significant changes in the demographic transition, will be in the middle of the century in the world's population caused by old and young each accounted for half of the phenomenon. Globally, 2000-2050 period, the proportion of people over the age of 60 is expected to increase 1 times, increased from 10% to 21%, and the proportion is expected to fall by a third of children, that is, from 30% to 21%. In several developed countries and transition economies, the elderly population has exceeded the number of children, and the birth rate has fallen below the replacement level. In some developed countries, before the end of 2050, the number of elderly people will be more than the number of children more than 1 times. Every seventy-one men in developed countries, the proportion of the average of one hundred women are expected to increase to seventy-eight. In the less developed regions, the proportion of the aged older women more than men not as high as in developed countries, because the gender differences in life expectancy. Gender ratio is currently developing countries, in the population over the age of 60, on average every eighty-eight men to one hundred women, predicts the middle of the century, will be a little change, become the one hundred women, eighty-seven men.


An ageing population will soon become a major problem in developing countries, because is expected to rapidly ageing population in the 21st century. Before the end of 2050, the old man the proportion is expected to rise from 8% to 19%, but the proportion of children will fall from 33% to 22%. The population change is a major challenge for resources. While developed countries is gradually ageing, but these countries are still faced with aging and relationship between unemployment and the sustainability of the pension system caused by the challenge; While developing countries at the same time is faced with the problem of development and population ageing problems.
Between developed countries and developing countries there are population structure of other important differences. Now in the developed countries, the vast majority of the elderly live in designated for urban areas, but in the developing world, most elderly people live in rural areas. For the forecast of population structure shows that by 2025, 82% of the population in developed countries will be living in cities and towns; In developing countries live in the town's population is less than half the proportion of the population. In developing countries, the proportion of the old rural than urban areas proportion of the old. On aging and the relationship between the urbanization also need to do further study, but the current trend shows that in many developing countries in the future will increase the proportion of the old rural areas.








The laws and regulations published by 
                                                            the United Nations


The aging problem of 2002 international plan of action called on all departments at all levels to change attitudes, policies and practices, which can exert the aging of the 21st century the huge potential.

Although based on early awareness of the elderly health enrich life, to "plan" as a practical tool to assist decision makers may be related to individual and population aging on the main priority. The common characteristics of "the plan" to confirm the nature of aging and its challenges, and there are different for each country of concrete Suggestions are put forward. "The plan" to realize the development of many different stages and in different areas of the transformation of the change and the interdependence of all countries in the world of globalization.

Must consider the specific contribution of old people in the frame and care. Implement the above-mentioned provisions will be able to help the elderly fully contribute to the development, and gain benefit equally. "2002 international plan of action on aging, some through the central theme in with these objectives, goals and commitments, including:

The elderly life safeguard depends largely on the three directions of progress. The purpose of these priority is to guide policy formulation and implementation, so as to successfully adapt to ageing of specific objectives of the world, which can, in accordance with the social development, the elderly life quality and lifelong happiness, formal and informal, the degree of sustainability improvement measure success or failure of the system.
The problem of aging into the mainstream of the global agenda is important. Must be made a concerted effort to take a broad fair view for policy integration. Its task is to put the ageing problem with other social and economic development and human rights framework together. Though the policy varies between countries and regions, population aging is a global power, but as with globalization, enough to change the future. Must recognize that older people not only have the ability to take the lead to improve itself, and has the ability to take the lead in improving the society as a whole, so as to contribute to society. Proactive thinking requires us to play the potential of an ageing population as the basis for future development.
