China's Rapidly Aging Society

A succession of population policies - first encouraging childbirth and then enforcing one-child families - has brought on one of China's most pressing problems, its ever growing aging population. Adequate laws, support systems and care centers have yet to be developed and the country is facing a major crisis. In this episode of Asia Insight, we follow the efforts of private enterprises and caring individuals who are trying to give the senior citizens of China the support and respect they need.
