  • That's about 33% of the total population
  • That's about 38% of the total population

China has one of the fastest growing ageing populations in the world. The population of people over 60 years old in China is projected to reach 28% by 2040, due to longer life expectancy and declining fertility rates. This huge demographic shift presents many new challenges and opportunities for public health and socioeconomic development – in particular, the development of an integrated system that caters to the health and social needs of older people, with equal access to health care regardless of geographical area.

With a rapidly ageing population, there is a vital need to create age-friendly cities and communities where older people can thrive and continue to make meaningful contributions to society. China has been exploring innovative approaches to improving access to integrated care, including the establishment of an internet-based medical information platform. Continued investment in these innovations and creating an integrated, community-based social and health care system, along with chronic disease control and prevention, strengthened health services and a larger workforce, are essential to help China face the challenges ahead.

Published by Aaron O'Neill, Nov 9, 2023
In 2022, the United States had the largest economy in the world, with a gross domestic product of just under 25.5 trillion U.S. dollars. China had the second largest economy, at around 18.1 trillion U.S. dollars. The remaining countries that rounded out the world's 20 largest economies all had GDPs that ranged between 800 billion and five trillion U.S. dollars. Compared to the 20 largest economies in 2020, Turkey moved into 19th place in 2022, pushing Taiwan off the list.

Global gross domestic product
Global gross domestic product amounts to almost 95 trillion U.S. dollars, with the United States making up more than one fifth of this figure alone. The 12 largest economies in the world includes all Group of Seven (G7) economies, as well as four of the BRICS economies, and South Korea. While the U.S. has consistently been the world's largest economy since the Second World War, it is estimated that it will be overtaken by China at some point this decade.

The gross domestic product of a country is calculated by taking spending and trade into account, to show how much the country can produce in a certain amount of time, usually per year. It represents the value of all goods and services produced during that year. Those countries considered to have emerging or developing economies account for almost 60 percent of global gross domestic product, while advanced economies make up over 40 percent.
