In this March 31, 2016 photo, a group of elderly women rest on their wheelchairs at a residential compound in Beijing. When people over 80 in Beijing take a bus, see a doctor or spend money, their activities are digitally tracked by the government, as part of an effort to improve services for the country�s rapidly growing elderly population. The data amassed with each swipe of the multi-purpose “Beijing Connect” old person�s card goes into a massive database of the elderly in the capital. City authorities hope the information will enable them to better cope with their burgeoning population of over-60s, which already stands at 3 million. (Photo by Andy Wong/AP Photo)
