Study on the Inheritance and Future-Generation Transmission of Filial Piety and Respect for the Elderly Culture of the New Generation of Preschool Education Undergraduates in Shanghai

China is the country with the largest number of elderly people, accounting for about one-fifth of the total number of older people in the world. As the first city in China to enter an aging society, Shanghai has entered a stage of deep aging. By the end of 2014, the registered elderly population in Shanghai had exceeded 4 million for the first time, and it is expected to exceed 5 million by the middle of 13th Five-Year plan.[1] With the rapid economic development and the continuous improvement of the social security system, the material support has gradually improved. However, with the acceleration of China's population mobility and the change of family structure, the lack of spiritual comfort and mental health problems existing in the elderly in urban and rural areas have gradually become apparent. In response to the deep aging population structure and growing demand for elderly care services, it is planned that by 2020, Shanghai will build “a „five in one‟ comprehensive social old-age service system featuring service supply, social security, policy support, demand assessment, and industry supervision” , as well as old-age friendly city and elderly livable communities.[1]
