The number of permanent elderly residents in Beijing has exceeded five million for the first time.

On September 9, 2025, the Four Seasons Qing Forum on the development of the elderly care service industry in Beijing was held. At the meeting, a keynote report entitled "Continuously Deepening the Reform and Development of Elderly Care Services, Exploring a Comprehensive Solution for Elderly Care Services in Beijing" was released. The report pointed out that by the end of 2024, Beijing had a total of 5.14 million elderly residents, exceeding the 5 million mark for the first time, accounting for 23.5% of the permanent population. With the continuous development of aging and declining birth rates, it is expected that in the early stage of the "13th Five-Year Plan", Beijing will enter a society with severe aging, and the elderly population will reach its peak in the middle of this century.
