China's working-age people now support more elderly than children

For the first time, China's old-age dependency ratio has overtaken that for children, official data shows: 23% versus 22% of the working-age population last year. More than 223 million people are aged 65 or above, nearly 16% of the population, against about 213 million children aged 14 and under. Analysts warn of growing strain on pensions and healthcare.
