<strong>Peking</strong> <strong>University</strong>, Beijing, May 15th, 2004: From May 12th to 13th, Center for<br />

Healthy Aging and Family Studies, China Center for Economic Research <strong>of</strong> <strong>Peking</strong><br />

<strong>University</strong> and China Research Center for Aging jointly held the seminar <strong>of</strong> ―China<br />

Aging Health and Social Economic Development‖ at <strong>PKU</strong> Yingjie Exchange Center.<br />

Experts scholars and <strong>of</strong>ficials in various fields such as demography, economics,<br />

sociology, psychology and physics, discussed about the relevant policies and rules,<br />

and agreed that China have been stepping into an aged society, facing the heavy<br />

strike <strong>of</strong> ―silver hair wave‖. Especially as a developing country, China is ―getting old<br />

before being rich‖, on the trial <strong>of</strong> fast ageing process.<br />

The attendees shared with each other the latest academic fruits and brought forward<br />

much strategic advice for the later research on health <strong>of</strong> aged, focusing on ten<br />

following subjects: ―endowment insurance‖, ―aging health and its cause‖, ―life quality<br />

<strong>of</strong> the aged and its cause‖, ―psychological situation and longevity <strong>of</strong> the aged‖,<br />

―family, environment, society and longevity‖, ―care and community service for the<br />

aged‖, ―the weak group <strong>of</strong> aged women and the reform <strong>of</strong> medical care system‖,<br />

―old-age economy and the need <strong>of</strong> caring‖, ―social science <strong>of</strong> health and longevity<br />

and physic multi-subjects research‖ and ―longevity and the social economy<br />

development‖.<br />

This seminar symbolized that our research on aging had stepped into a new stage<br />

with multi-subjects crossing research and had been in the front rank among<br />

developing countries. This was another high-rank seminar <strong>of</strong> old-age research held<br />

by <strong>PKU</strong> after the successful holding <strong>of</strong> ―the Seminar for the Health <strong>of</strong> Chinese Senior<br />

Citizens and Longevity‖ in March 2003.<br />
