Summary

China is turning eldercare into a licensed occupation. A new national certification is formalizing the workforce that will shape how millions of seniors are cared for. This is not about expanding beds or abstract policy. It is about who delivers care, how they are trained, and what that means for the future of growing old in China's cities.
