OnlyChild parents are a special group formed by the longterm Family Planning Policy in China, which is unprecedented in the whole of human society. As the onlychild parents gradually enter oldage life, they face the following problems: The foundation of oldage care is weak, individual ability is limited; the supply and demand of Elderly Services does not match; the responsibility boundary of relevant parties is not clear, the security mechanism is not sound; The information sharing mechanism is imperfect and so on. Selfsupport is an important way to solve the problem of providing for the aged of this group parents in China, which is highly in line with the requirements of China’s active response to the population aging national strategy and can alleviate the enormous pressure of providing for the aged of the only child family and society. In the context of positive response to the population aging, we can promote the realization of selfsupport for the onlychild parents from the aspects of ideology, responsibility definition, supply and demand matching and information platform, etc.
