💨 Abstract

China is encouraging its aging population to volunteer for community services and contribute in various sectors like education, sports, and dispute mediation, as authorities aim to strengthen a shrinking workforce. This initiative is in response to China's declining population due to fewer births, a trend expected to continue for decades. The government plans to revamp the 'Silver Age' scheme to engage more elderly individuals in economic and social development.
