✦ Synopsis

China's national birth control program natually leads us to question its consequences --one of which is the aging problem. 80 percent of the Chinese population are agricultural, but facts concerning economics of retirement, old age support, health care, living arrangement and housing of the rural old people are sparse. Following the 1985 survey on the urban elderly in Shanghai 2, we conducted a 3 per thousand survey of 1,581 elderly people in suburban Shanghai in 1986. This report presents the preliminary results of our research and raises some policy implications concerning status and needs of the rural elderly.
