Homes for elderly grow popular in China

Busy work schedules and one-child policy make it difficult for people in China to care for the elderly.

19 Dec 2013 15:26 GMT

    China is the world's most populous country, and has its second largest economy.

    People are working longer hours, making it harder for many to look after elderly relatives.

    It is especially tough for those born under the one child policy.

    In the face of growing demand, one businessman is tapping into the burgeoning market.

    Al Jazeera's Marga Ortigas reports from Beijing.
