中國人口正迅速老齡化,而獨生子女政策的終結(jié)可能帶來一波嬰兒潮,日本公司正積極向中國投資準(zhǔn)備應(yīng)對這一人口變化,試圖在中國養(yǎng)老和育兒市場掘金。
China has around 212 million people aged 60 andolder, accounting for 15.5% of the population,according to the National Health and Family PlanningCommission. That figure has risen by roughly 8.6million per year over the past five years and is set to grow further.
根據(jù)國家衛(wèi)生計生委數(shù)據(jù)顯示,中國60歲以上的老人的數(shù)量大約在2億1200百萬左右,約占人口總數(shù)的15.5%。在過去的五年里,這一數(shù)字已上升了大約860萬,而且還將進(jìn)一步增長。
In China, housekeepers often offer nursing services as well. Nursing care provider Nichii Gakkanhas acquired six housekeeping companies and is poised to buy 10 more. The Japanesecompany will provide specialized know-how to these businesses, helping them grow profitsfrom nursing care. Nichii initially focused on Beijing and coastal areas and plans to expandinland, including into Chongqing.
在中國,家政人員也經(jīng)常提供護(hù)理服務(wù)。目前,日本護(hù)理企業(yè)日醫(yī)學(xué)館已經(jīng)收購了6家中國家政公司,并計劃再收購10家。這家日本企業(yè)將會為這些公司提供專門的知識,幫助他們從護(hù)理服務(wù)中獲取利潤。日醫(yī)學(xué)館最初集中于北京和沿海地區(qū),不過現(xiàn)在將會向包括重慶在內(nèi)的內(nèi)陸地區(qū)擴大市場。
About 35 million Chinese need nursing care, according to the company. Nichii views the marketas still in its infancy.
據(jù)該企業(yè)評估,有大約3500萬中國人需要護(hù)理服務(wù)。日醫(yī)學(xué)館認(rèn)為該市場仍處于起步階段。
Kao Corp will spend up to 90b yen over the next two to three years to boost the output ofchild-related products, such as disposable diapers for infants.
另外一家日本企業(yè)--花王公司,在今后2-3年最多將投資900億日元用于嬰幼兒紙尿褲等兒童用品的增產(chǎn)。
Daio Paper started selling adult disposable diapers in China this year. It plans to add moreequipment for producing infant diapers at its Jiangsu plant as early as next year.
此外,大王制紙今年開始在中國銷售成人用紙尿褲,并計劃最早在明年向江蘇工廠投入更多嬰幼兒紙尿褲的生產(chǎn)設(shè)備。
