in recent years, the first generation of the first generation only child parents who responded to the early response to fertility policy in this city have gradually entered the pension period. Having a healthy old age and having a good old age have become the main goal of their lives. At this point, the first generation of the only child has just passed through the years, shoulders began to assume more and more social responsibilities, can not accompany the parents become normal. Such a reality makes the only child parents destined to go through a long "empty nest" life. For couples with dual independence, both parents face more challenges for their parents. Wang Jing, a member of the CPPCC National Committee, suggested that the development of the community care center should be further promoted, and the community would become a warm old family for the elderly.

mother and son of
one month to meet
Ms. Wang is 64 years old this year, Beijing people, son born in 1980, 36 years old this year. Ms. Wang is the oldest in the family. There are five younger siblings. The youngest sister is only 7 years older than her son.
as a 50, she is also an elder sister. Ms. Wang is half a mother when she is young, taking care of her brothers and sisters. It made her realize that the burden of too many children on a family is enormous. So in 1980, when the government promoted a couple to have only one child, Ms. Wang became the only child parent among her peers. Although there is less pressure to bring up children, there is another practical problem with age.
in Ms. Wang's impression, since her son went to high school, the time between mother and son was less and less. At that time, the family was only able to get together at the weekend. When children work and get married, there is less chance for them to meet.
Ms. Wang's son worked in a travel company. It's good to go home once a month, all year round. And every time he came home, he just hurried away after having a meal together.
loneliness is more intense after retirement. Now, the children's study in Ms. Wang's house remains as a child, and she often turns over pictures of her son's school, feeling as if everything was just happening the day before. In the twinkling of an eye, I am old. I can no longer hear children running back in their schoolbags crying out hungry.
the first generation of the first generation of the city's first generation children, most of which have passed by, are gradually becoming the backbone of the society, and more and more social responsibilities have gradually shifted to their shoulders. Many of the two families will face four elderly people after marriage.
Ms. Du and her wife were born in 1980, both sides are single children, and the elderly on both sides have been over the years. "Now the most worried about the body of the elderly, if there is a problem really can not run away." Ms. Du said that in 2009, she was hospitalized with cerebral infarction and her father was not in good health. Her home in Shijingshan, her mother-in-law's family in Shunyi, can only stay here for two days, stay there for a day, half a year running down is almost to collapse. After
mother-in-law was discharged from hospital, Ms. Du thought that she could catch her breath. Whose home should I go on the weekend? Du and his wife are living in Shijingshan now. His wife is in bad health because she has to return to Shunyi on weekends. Ms. Du felt a bit of an injustice. Although her parents were close to their parents, they had only a weekend to meet only to meet each other. In this way, the two husband and wife had no little quarrel for the weekend.
survey of
the only child to meet with parents in the division of population and labor green book,
the population Institute of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS), shows that the only child and parents are separated from their parents, and their daily meeting is less, affecting the emotional exchange of parents and children. In the separated families, children and their parents meet less than 30% each day. Nearly 50% of families can meet each week or only.
nearly 40% of parents who often feel lonely or sometimes feel lonely are not willing to talk about their worries or difficulties with their children. The poor emotional comfort of the elderly in the family will inevitably increase the loneliness and helplessness of the elderly parents and affect their quality of life.
the reality of only one child in a single child family makes the only child parents go through the "empty nest" life of life earlier and longer, and put them on the basis of a more fragile family pension. With the increase of the proportion of intermarriage between the only children of one child, the increase of the intergenerational structure of the "421" family has made the pension of the only child parents face a severe challenge.
analysis of
the demand for community pension services in the future
the "population and labor green book" analysis points out that because most of the first generation children of the first generation of the city are still in the low age and are in good health, they are still the main "payers" in the family, and provide care and support for the family members. The demand level of family support for the elderly is relatively low.
however, with the passage of time, the first generation of only child parents will have certain needs for community care services and nursing homes in the future. Most of the first generation of only child parents plan for their future retirement. Health status, family economic status, marital status and education level all have a certain impact on the wishes of the only child parents in the future.
a part of the only child parents living in a nursing home, living in the same family, or living near their parents' parents will be the mainstream of the parents' pension arrangements for the only child of the future.
