In recent decades, China's population has attracted worldwide attention. With economic and social development and more than 20 years of implementation of the family planning system, China's population have undergone tremendous changes, and some problems are more and more prominent, including China's rapid aging of population. One fundamental social issue caused by the aging of population is to meet the special needs of the old. On this issue, the most active approach taken by international community is to develop aging industry. China's aging of population proposes the potential demand to aging industry, also provides a huge population advantage.But community still have many differences and misunderstandings in China's aging industry and its development prospects, meanwhile, aging industry is also plagued with problems in the development of their own. Thus, it is particularly necessary to do the theory and policy research on the development of China's aging industry.Recalling China's overall aging industrial research, it must be affirmed that considerable achievements have been made in a short span of 10 years: the first research on our aging industry; consensus on some basic theoretical issues, such as key areas of aging industrial development and its necessity and feasibility and so on, which lay a foundation for promoting and improving theoretical studies of aging industry; aging industrial applications and operational concerns to promote interaction among academics, government departments and businesses; creation of the empirical, quantitative, case analysis of aging industry.10 years'in-depth study of aging industry is undoubtedly of great significance to its own development.In China, compared with the study of the elderly in other areas, the economics of the elderly population and the aging population appear later.In the last 1980s, basically a blank, until the 1990s, aging population increasingly serious situation and the needs of industrial restructuring ask academic to concern the economic problems caused by the aging of the population.Studies from the point of theory and policy issues of China's aging industry show that its objective is to promote the development of China's aging industrial practice. In fact the reason why China's aging industry lags behind is that government, business circle, community, family, individual, even academic have no enough attention to aging industry and hold numerous bias, and the whole society atmosphere is not conducive to the development of industry, besides many objective factors like relatively backward economic development level, further optimized industrial structure and so on. So deepening aging industrial research, raising public awareness of aging industrial, clarifying misunderstanding of the aging industry are of great significance. And the purpose of this paper is the theory and policy issues that government and business circle concern best.Based on current theories differences of aging industrial, this paper carries on the elementary theory of aging industry, analyzing the key factors that can affect China's aging industry development, forecasting its development prospects from the multi-angle, so as to discover the measures which can promote China's aging industry prospers.
