Xinhua commentary: the fact that many pension institutions are actually
the fire accident at Henan Lushan Mountain County Kang paradise old apartment on 25 days in May 26th, the fire accident has caused the death of 38 people. There are still 6 people in the hospital for treatment. Sadly, many of the unfortunate ones are seventy or eighty years old, who lose their ability to take care of themselves. Tragedy once again sounded the alarm for the problem of "old people have peace".
"old security" is a safe and safe place for the elderly, which is an important indicator of the security of the old age and the ability to serve the people's livelihood, and the security is the bottom line.
reporter learned from the scene of the accident: on the hardware facilities, the home of the nursing home is mainly a shabby colored steel tile house, the folk call this kind of house "iron foam house", the wall interlayer is filled with foam, and the house itself has no foundation, and the ruins after the fire are only the steel frame and iron. On the nursing strength, the elderly living in nursing homes reflect that people usually do some cleaning, but they can't find a waiter overnight.
health park is a private pension institution with simple hardware facilities, inadequate nursing service, low management level and so on. It is also a common problem faced by many pension institutions in China. From the current situation of the rural pension institutions in the central part of China, some local pension institutions have more debts than others, some of which are even dilapidated buildings. 2/3 of the more than 2000 nursing homes in a central province failed to meet fire safety requirements. In terms of nursing, there are 1 staff members in the country with an average of 13 per capita, and far from the reasonable proportion of 5:1. Because of low pay and hard work, many pension institutions are actually "elderly care for the elderly".
explores the dilemma faced by many nursing homes, which is related to some local people's livelihood security. In these areas, although the departments concerned emphasize the importance of old-age security and people's livelihood, they do not pay for the construction and operation of pension institutions. At present, the salary, construction and operation of public pension institutions depend mainly on the implementation of the township level finance. The degree of implementation of provinces and cities depends largely on the importance attached by local governments to civil affairs. There are even some strange phenomena in some parts of the country. Take the rural homes for the aged as an example. In some poor areas, the funds for the five guarantees for the elderly are packaged and allocated. The Civil Affairs Department has found that the proportion of funds actually used for the five guarantees personnel in some places is less than 1/10 in some counties and cities.
as a grass-roots cadre admitted, "capital guarantee is an important prerequisite and foundation for achieving" old security ". Therefore, first of all, we should straighten out the responsibilities of governments at all levels and rationally divide the proportion of input at all levels. The provinces and cities can not "slip shoulders" and push the responsibility to the most grass-roots rural areas; secondly, the social capital should be encouraged to enter, but the government departments can not "slip the shoulders" and push the basic responsibility for the aged to the society; and then, the government department is private to the private sector. We should give equal treatment to public nursing homes, implement new bed subsidies, and better serve and supervise the operation of private pension institutions.
the aging population of our country is coming up rapidly. It is the inevitable challenge for the economic and social development to let hundreds of millions of old people be placed in a safe and safe way. There is not much time left for us. The whole society should work together to make every old man "safe and sound".
