With the rapid development of economy, Chinese society has undergone tremendous changes. The process of urbanization has accelerated, urban population continues to grow, while rural population relatively decreases. This kind of population mobility has promoted economic development, but also brought new social problems, such as housing shortage, traffic congestion, etc.

Aging is one of the important social challenges currently facing China. With the improvement of medical standards and living conditions, the average life expectancy of Chinese people continues to extend, and the proportion of elderly population is also rising. This has put forward higher requirements for the social security system, needing to strengthen elderly care services and medical security. At the same time, aging has also had a profound impact on labor economy and family structure.

In order to solve these social problems, the Chinese government has formulated many relevant policies and measures. In the aspect of social security, the government is constantly improving the insurance systems for elderly care, healthcare, unemployment, etc., raising the level of social welfare. In the field of education, the government has increased investment in education, promoted educational fairness, and let more children enjoy access to high-quality educational resources. In addition, China is also actively solving the urban-rural gap problem through measures such as new rural area construction, migrant worker social security, etc., promoting rural development, improving farmers' lives. These measures are conducive to maintaining social stability, promoting social harmony, and laying a solid foundation for the sustainable development of Chinese society.
