Re: China's population over 60 years old has a population decrease of over 200 million.
on the other hand, the urbanization makes a large number of rural labor flow to the city, and the elderly people in rural areas have more "left behind" home, not only lose the company and care of their children, but also bear heavy agricultural and housework, and even need to be guardianors and caregivers of grandchildren. In the context of the imperfect social security system, the shortage of pension, care and medical resources makes the problem of aging in rural areas more prominent, especially the old-age security and medical problems to be solved urgently, and the situation in the poor rural areas is more serious.
the head of the family development division of the Health Planning Commission said: "the family is still the main environment for the life of the elderly, and the family pension is still the main form of the life arrangement for the elderly. But in the social policy system of the elderly in China, there is a lack of support for the families of the elderly and the policy of supporting the family members directly for the elderly and the elderly. "
aging population is not equal to social aging
- developing social pension, supporting family pension, and improving the asset structure of the elderly population
"my parents are now good, and can take care of themselves. In a few years, a variety of diseases will be slowly found. I want to take them in Beijing. " Liu Yuan said, parents also have their idea, they do not want to come to Beijing, hope to go to a nursing home. Now, the public nursing home is difficult and difficult to get in. The prices of private nursing homes are so high that they don't know what it will be like in the future, and we hope the country can increase its investment in the old-age service and social security. "
" recently, the old home town built a nursing home, a lot of old people in the village have lived in, listening to people say, there are complete facilities, kitchen restaurant, chess room, these all have, the elderly life can be guaranteed. Yang Bo told reporters that parents would let them live in if their parents wanted to, and if they were not willing, I would go back to take care of them with my wife.
"as far as social conditions are concerned, the government needs not only to develop the old-age old-age pension system, but also to supplement the shortage of family pension, and to pay more attention to the direct support of the family pension, and to strengthen the family's pension function through the policy arrangement of improving the family development ability." The person in charge of the Department of family development of the Wei Planning Commission said.
"we should first adopt the active aging strategy from the perspective of the whole life cycle to enhance people's understanding of aging in the whole society." Song Jian said that each individual is responsible for the need to accumulate health, connections, resources and wealth in the youth to respond to the material and spiritual needs of the elderly; every elderly person should actively participate in family and social life and maintain an optimistic and healthy state of mind. Secondly, a favorable policy of tax, housing, care and other related policies should be formulated to ensure the ability and willingness of the family members to support the elderly, so that the elderly can enjoy the happiness of the family on the basis of their homes for the aged. It is understood that the Wei Planning Commission will further promote the combination of medical and health care, and strive to establish an elderly health service system based on the community as a support, preventive health care, medical treatment and rehabilitation care.
"aging of population is not equal to the aging of society". Yang Yansui, a professor at the Tsinghua University, said. China is shifting from an investment driven economy to a consumer driven economy. It is generally believed that the consumption ability of the elderly is weak and their contribution to economic growth is small. But Yang Yansui said that with the development of the economy, the elderly and the elderly in the future will be very different from those in the past. When 70, 80 and 90 crowd up, 50, 60 people are young people. This younger part of the elderly can participate in the improvement of the asset structure of the old people and improve their purchasing power. At that time, the aging population is not a burden, but the impetus to promote the economic growth of the silver - hair economy, and gradually form an aging population dividend, including human capital investment, consumption, investment and so on.
"of course, we must seize the time to prepare for this." She believes that China should accelerate the development of old age pension assets, including human capital and employment capacity, two yuan structure pension, basic medical security and supplementary health insurance, old property and other assets, and also improve the asset structure of the aged population, including intergenerational transfer payment, labor management and property income. In addition, measures should be taken to improve the purchasing power of the aged population, including the middle-aged pension and financial management and the children for the elderly to buy services, and promote the old-age service system and the development of the aging industry.
