MA XUEJING/CHINA DAILY Digitization of the long-term care industry needs to be accelerated to meet the needs of the country s growing elderly population The shortage of long-term care workers has evolved into a major social concern with the accelerating population aging in China. With the weakening role of the family in providing long-term care, the country has to develop a more robust formal care system to cater for the needs of its over 40 million elderly people living with functional disabilities. According to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the current approximately 500,000 long-term care workers are far from enough, and more than 1 million are still needed to gain a balance. But caring for the elderly has long been characterized by low pay, poor social recognition and high turnover rate, which poses a key challenge for the well-being of China s senior citizens. Thus, more policy attention and creative solutions are required to tackle the problem.
