Increasing need for nursing homes due to impact of China's migration to the cities
China is looking to build more nursing homes, as it feels the impact of the hundreds of millions of Chinese who migrated from the countryside to the cities, leaving behind their parents and grandparents.  Additionally, for rural migrants, few can host their elderly parents in what are often small, rented rooms, and most public nursing homes in the countryside will only accept people without offspring.  The Minister of Civil Affairs says the government is looking at ways to increase its number of nursing beds for the elderly.  With recent data showing that the number of Chinese aged over 60 is set to reach 480 million by 2050, investors are seeing the potential in the geriatric-care sector.
