On July 13, 2022, a podcast episode discussed the rise of the silver economy due to population aging in China, inspired by a recent image showing the distribution of different age groups. The episode highlighted personalized services for the elderly in Japan, including electronic devices, medications, bathing services, and marketing strategies targeting seniors. It also explored entrepreneurial opportunities in designing products for older adults, such as specialized underwear and bathtubs. The discussion emphasized how social issues can create new business opportunities and the investment potential in the smart elderly care industry, as well as the interconnected effects of the silver and child economies.

Yesterday, I saw a picture posted by yiqin on Jike about the distribution of the population in China across different age groups¹.

Coincidentally, the latest podcast episode I listened to also discussed the issue of population aging. It also combined some of the latest policies — further relaxation of residency requirements in Shanghai, and shared some of my thoughts.
