When China began its one-child policy, its population was just about nudging one billion. Now 30 years on, there are 1.3 billion Chinese. China says it's prevented 400 million births as a result of the policy. It introduced the measure because it felt the country's huge population was a tremendous drag. Its fragile economy was recovering after years of political turmoil in the 1960s and 70s. It appears economics are once again dictating China's family-planning policy. The rapidly aging population means more people are needed to look after the growing number of elderly, who themselves won't be working.

What does the underlined "who" refer to? Is it "more people" or "elderly"?

Thanks

Jason
