CGTN原文：

China Population Day falls on June 11. The country has been taking steady measures to improve basic elderly care services to provide a cushion for one of its most vulnerable groups as part of nationwide efforts to cope with China's ageing society. Globally, the number of people aged 65 and above is expected to double from 761 million in 2021 to 1.6 billion in 2050, according to the latest United Nations population projections. A younger population serves as the engine of economic growth by offering a large, productive workforce.
