　　Individually, the increase in life expectancy is a "blessed pain" for the elderly. In ancient times, longevity has always been a dream of the general public. But at present, as this pursuit has already been fulfilled, they find that ageing is accompanied by an increase in potential diseases to some extent. Older people are less resistant and need more care from their families, but this may place a financial burden on their relatives in an economic respect. In addition, increasedlongevity means that "delayed retirement" will become a reality. However, the relevant participants are less productive and less receptive to new things than younger newcomers, inevitably leading to a decrease in employment competitiveness.

　　At the same time, social consequences may be brought. The one should be underlined is the aging of the population. Considering the cause of geriatric nursing, the government has to invest more in health insurance, and then in other social sectors such as education, environmental protection, and security. Besides, more and more senior people need pensions, and this will cause the next generation of young people to face more financial pressure. Moreover, whether pensions can withstand the impact of inflation is also a pressing social issue that needs to be addressed.
