The rapid growth of the elderly population in China is leading to an increase in demand for educational programs for them.
It is predicted that in ten years, the number of aging Chinese will grow to 300 million.
Emergence of companies specializing in the training of pensioners
In China, companies that specialize in training citizens of the "silver age" began to actively appear. Demand for their services is growing: one of the companies needed to expand to five centers, others claim a 40% increase in the number of participants and profits compared to last year. A new business niche is attracting more and more investors.
State support
The Chinese government supports companies specializing in the education of "silver students": the authorities have introduced grant support for companies, tax breaks, promise to continue the work carried out and strengthen this area.
Restrictions
But not everyone sees only positive prospects - analysts believe that it is too early to invest in Chinese "silver education", because there are risks. Pensions in China are small, so not everyone will be able to afford education, but only those pensioners who are helped by their children - or if education is included in state support measures. To date, the cost of courses is from 600 rubles, while the pension of rural residents is 1300 rubles per month (we immediately converted yuan into rubles for you).
