Embarrassment in Chinese Society for the aged
origin: People's daily
since Confucius first put forward "the end of the old", thousands of years ago, this ideal is still not really realized. In the cities, old people or "live in" homes for the elderly, or "can not afford to live" homes for the aged. In the countryside, the land for the aged has been unsustainable. How to release more kindness and warmth on the old-age problem, to a certain extent, reflects the society and the attitude of the country to history
the "look out" article: the pension charity
"the end of the old" is not a new word. According to the available literature, Confucius put forward this concept in the book of rites, the book of rites, as early as the spring and Autumn period. Etiquette is not the usual etiquette and politeness nowadays. In ancient times, the essence of the ceremony is the social system of rules and regulations and moral norms, which is directly related to the ruling order. Therefore, "old age" can also be regarded as the proper meaning of Confucius's ideal society.
ideal is ultimately ideal. In feudal society where material shortage and frequent smoke, "old people and old people" can only be a piece of ink on the paper of ideal families.
the time shift of the world. Today, China's GDP is ranked third in the world, with the world's largest foreign exchange reserves. According to the world bank classification standard, China has jumped from low income countries to the lower middle income countries in the world in 2008. However, it is difficult for Confucius to think that there is still quite a serious pension problem in China today.
which is not? In the center of the big city, the contradiction between people and bed is becoming more and more prominent. It often takes months to find a bedplace for a nursing home. In the same city, some luxurious nursing homes often charge thousands of yuan a month, and the individual nursing homes also charge a member fee of up to millions of yuan. "Not to live" and "not to live" coexist.
a lot of old people are happy to live in the life of the family, but the "421" family structure, the shortage of nursing care and medical care for the elderly, has made a considerable number of young and middle-aged people bear the burden of the elderly.
look at the rural areas, which has been popular for thousands of years, and can no longer satisfy the huge population demand. According to relevant statistics, the average per capita cultivated land of 1/3 provinces in China is less than 1 mu, and the cultivated land area per capita in less than more than 600 mu is less than half a mu.
this is the "sketch" of many urban and rural endowment situations in China. In the age of the sun, if you still want to find an ideal place to live, people will inevitably be afraid of Ju Lao.
this phenomenon should not appear. Since ancient times, China is a country that respects the elderly. The great social meaning of "the old and the old" is small to the subsection of "the relatives do not dare to say old", and the Chinese culture of respecting the old is branded as the heart of every Chinese.
, but the good deeds of providing services for the aged are still waiting for more. Some people say that in the age of high land prices, no one is willing to buy homes for the elderly; it is also said that the threshold of nursing homes is too high, small funds can not enter the pension industry; others say that the support of the related departments is not enough...
in fact, pension is not a problem that any department can solve. The pension industry involves medical care, involving economy, and involves a set of system designs such as special policies and regulations.
can't be procrastinating again. In the cause of providing for the aged, the government, society, community and family should release the greatest sincerity and warmth.
of course, China is still in the primary stage of socialism. On any issue, we may have the restriction of "bad money". However, what we have to say is that we must not recognize money only on the issue of providing for the aged.
more people hope that, on the old-age problem, all the good will bloom, become a real good, and let our old people enjoy their old age.
everyone has to withdraw from the stage of history. And a society, a country, with what system, facilities, humanistic care to treat the elders of the historical stage, reflecting the attitude of the society and the country to history. (text / Zhang Hui)
"lookout" article: Beijing endowment service status touch
call hundreds of pension institutions, and finally find a family to satisfy her. Why is it so difficult to find a place for the aged?
Wen / "lookout" Newsweek reporter Zhang Huijin Jian Hui Intern Wang Fengling
"we are actually illegal building." In the vicinity of a nursing home in the city of Beijing, the president told the reporter of "news" weekly.
in the direction of its fingers, a narrow nursing home is situated between the two residential buildings. Before, the home of the old house was the public green space. In 2006, the president said, in order to provide old-age care for the elderly, the street began to build an elderly home here. "When we just built, we built it in the daytime, and there were residents in the evening." It was built and demolished, until the police station came forward and the nursing home was finally completed.
looking at the tall buildings in the distance, the Dean, who has lived in Beijing for more than 50 years, does not understand that it is the traditional virtue of China to honor the old man, but it would be impossible to build an old home.
not long ago, in March 15th, the land auction in Beijing created a new price, and three land kings were born within a day.
there are still a lot of puzzling things on the pension issue. During this spring, Zhang Li, vice director of the CPPCC National Committee and the Committee of the people's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), said in his speech that 167 million of the people over the age of 60 years old have reached 167 million, and in 2020, it will reach 248 million. In 2009, the National Committee for the population and resources of the National Committee of the Chinese people's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) found in Jiangsu, Shandong, Liaoning, Gansu and other provinces that the contradictions brought by the aging of the population have been "very prominent".
this reporter noted that Zhang Li used "the most prominent" five times in his speech. Among them, the contradiction between the rapid growth of the aged population and the burden of support for the old-age security is very prominent; the contradiction between the gradual decrease of the labor population and the rapid growth of the support population is very prominent; the contradiction between the acceleration of the population flow and the care of the empty nest elderly is prominent; the contradiction between the various needs of the elderly and the development of the old service industry is ten The contradiction between service management and the current system is very prominent.
"lookout" news weekly found in the survey found that the current, "one bed difficult" and the high vacancy rate of pension apartments, in some cities at the same time. On the one hand, public public pension institutions in the city are "difficult to seek", and the queuing and other beds exist widely; on the other hand, some relatively high-end apartments have low occupancy rates and poor operating conditions.
the person in charge of a private elderly home appeal, the relevant departments should increase the support of the pension service industry, "there is no policy to support us all."
rented room and other beds and other beds
2009, just from the Caishikou branch home of the old house of the palace of the palace of the palace of the palace to go home soon. She said she wanted to go back to a nursing home. What she did not expect was that she had taken care of her life for two years, but told her that she could not stay for the time being.
the head of the nursing home told the reporter that in June 2007, Mrs. Wang, more than 70 years old, was staying in longevity hill. After the old man came, the nursing home was carefully attended by the nursing home. A typical example is that, according to the regulations of Yi Shou Xuan, when the old man takes a bath, it is completed by 10 staff, of which 6 people help the old man take off his clothes and 4 people take a bath for the old man.
2009 in March, Mrs. Wang bought a house at home, and her family picked her up. But after a few months at home, Mrs. Wang still missed the life of the nursing home. In her words, "I want to go home." So, there was a call to Yi Shou Xuan again.
there is no bed in the old home. In desperation, Mrs. Wang's family took him to other nursing homes. However, they either live equally or are not satisfied with the environment there. Finally, Mrs. Wang made up her mind not to find a home for the aged. So she rented a bungalow next to Yeh Shou Hun and looked forward to having a bed out to live in.
"waiting for a bed in a queue, that is, an acquaintance can't help you!" Another person in charge of the elderly home said.
it is understood that the phenomenon of "hard bed" is not isolated. Li Hongbing, Secretary of the working committee of Xicheng District Yue Tan Street office, told reporters that there were 50 beds in the lunar altar nursing home, and more than 50 people were waiting in line.
report on the information of the elderly population in 2008 and the status of the development of aging in Beijing shows that at the end of 2008, there were 2 million 180 thousand elderly people over 60 years old, but only 39994 beds were in bed. According to the relevant data of the Ministry of civil affairs, according to the 50 estimates of the international average for each thousand old people, there are about 8 million beds for the elderly in the country, and only 2 million 500 thousand at present.
Ma Jian, vice president of the Social Welfare Association of Beijing and director general of Beijing Hui Chen old apartment, told the news weekly of "lookout". At present, there are three forms of public service, private and public run. In this case, the occupancy rate of the public and the public is the highest, and the phenomenon of "one bed is hard to get" is very common. The reason is that public and public pension institutions often have natural advantages. Geographically, it is often located in the center of the city and close to the residential area, and has advantages in medical, transportation and other supporting facilities.
reporter noted that starting from the Caishikou branch of Yi Shou Xuan, it will be less than ten minutes to walk to the health palace hospital. Moreover, the surrounding environment is better. Taoranting Park Park and FA Yuan Temple are suitable for elderly people to take a walk.
in addition, public and public pension institutions tend to charge less. Ma Jian said that the biggest advantage of public and public pension institutions is that the venues are provided by the government, and that the largest part of the pension institutions' investment is no longer a problem. Generally speaking, an elderly person charges around 1000 yuan a month. If the elderly need care, the price is slightly higher.
there are people who do not want to be named after the old-age service employees, because the public run public advantages are prominent, and there are many people in line, so in some places, some special resources or rich people are more likely to become residents of the public office.
however, this does not mean that the old offices of the public office are in good condition. In a public office in Xuanwu District, the head of the nutrition office told reporters that the current balance of payments is basically flat. At present, there are 90 elderly people in the nursing home, and each elderly pays 1360 yuan each month. However, in the heating season, it takes more than 1500 yuan a day to burn more than a barrel of diesel fuel. Moreover, the cost of staff is also rising, plus insurance, the monthly salary of each nurse is about 2000 yuan.
the person in charge told this reporter that the monthly salary of the head of the public pension agency was three thousand or four thousand yuan in general. He said with a slight sense of guilt that if he had money, he would like to improve the facilities of the nursing home, such as laying carpet on the house and improving the window.
not only that, "public run" also brings great pressure to the government. Ma Jian said that because it is "public", it often needs a certain number of quotas; because it is "public", the government is also involved in the maintenance and operation of the later period, so that the government is too heavy.
