By 2020, the number of elderly people over the age of 60 will increase to 255 million, accounting for 17.8% of the total population, and the number of elderly living alone and empty nest will increase to about 118 million. At the same time, most of the elderly in China will end up in the family, and the responsibility for old-age care and care will be borne by the family.

However, the old-age service can't keep up with the speed of aging. The old-age service provided by social organizations can't meet the needs of the elderly. The middle-to-high-end pension institutions that the market has come into play are not affordable for ordinary families.

According to the data of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the vast majority of the elderly in China will end up in the family, and the responsibility for old-age care and care will be borne by the family.

According to the China Elderly Health Survey conducted by Peking University's Center for Ageing Health and Family Research, most of the elderly caregivers in China are female (about 66.7%-75.0% are female caregivers), and the family is cumbersome and meticulous care. Work is easy to form the pressure and burden of the caregiver.

For young and middle-aged women, the situation of “having old and small” will make them feel deeply unable to do so, and they will be forced to choose low-paying and flexible work, thus intensifying the inequality of economic status in the family. In the care mode, the mother at home often has to take care of the family, but also take responsibility for the care of the spouse, but her old life is in jeopardy and even old.
