Xinhua net Beijing 15 (reporter Hua Chunyu Wei Minli) 63 year old Wang Jianping has retired from a company in Beijing for several years. She has a good health and filial piety, but the past 14 years to take care of the age of 89 years old, the experience of the age of Alzheimer's mother, but let her early start a visit to the elderly hospital.
"when I can't move, I will go to the nursing home, not to give children trouble." Wang Jianping said.
"when the years are gone, your temples are white and deep and sleepy..." The Chinese appreciate the love described by Yeats, an Irish poet, when you are old. But as Chinese society enters the aging stage and is rapidly entering a society of deep aging, more and more ordinary Chinese are thinking about the problem of "when I go to the old", the problems they think are often not romantic in poetry.
Chen Chuanshu, the deputy director of the Party group and the deputy director of the national group on aging, said at a national conference held in front of the traditional Chinese respecting Festival, before the heavy Sun Festival, that China is now in the period of accelerating the development of population aging. By the end of 2009, the elderly population over 60 years old has reached 167 million, accounting for 12.5% of the total population of the country, and from this year, the elderly population in China will be further accelerated.
, at the same time, a report issued by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences recently said that by 2030, China will become the country with the highest degree of population aging in the world; by 2050, Chinese society will enter a stage of deep aging.
Chen Chuanshu said that the problem of aging is not only a realistic problem for individuals and families, but also a major social issue related to the national economy and the people's livelihood. The increasingly grim population aging challenge, more overlapping with the peak of population and the peak of employment, interwoven with economic transformation, social transformation and cultural transformation, has penetrated into various fields of economic development and social life.
Yang Yanan, a graduate student of the Department of Sociology of Peking University, was just 24 years old this year, but from his parents' care for her grandmother, the only child of the "after 80" is not difficult to understand the Chinese "filial culture" and traditional old-age mode.
"I only have a grandmother, grandma can not be completely independent, only a little pension, but father, uncle, aunt are very filial to her, the economy is the father and uncle supply her, usually she will change in their children's home." Yang Yanan said.
seems to think more about the pension problem, 6 years older than Yang Yanan and working in an enterprise in Beijing. Cheng Sa believes that when the only child is very common, most of the children in the future are two young people who care for 4 old people.
"like me, I am an only child, and my husband has an elder sister at home. If the old man does not get sick, he will be overwhelmed with illness. Cheng Sa said.
Hao Maishou, an expert on the elderly at the Tianjin Academy of Social Sciences, said that in Chinese traditional culture, for the elderly, it is dependent on children to provide for the aged, including economic supply, life care, spiritual comfort and lifelong handling. After the founding of new China, the pension and endowment insurance system was gradually established and perfected in towns and villages, but there are still some shortcomings.
in addition, in addition to the care of the elderly, the majority of the people are still taken care of by their children or hired by their children, in addition to the care of the social pension institutions. Now, more and more first generation parents of only child in China's urban and rural areas have realized that it is impossible to rely on their children to take care of themselves.
"the deep aging of the society has also put forward a comprehensive and three-dimensional reform requirement on the culture, law, policy and support system of the elderly in China." Hao Maishou said.
Chen Chuanshu said that under the basic national conditions of "not getting rich first" in China, Chinese traditional home care for the aged will be the main way for the elderly to live for a long time. At the same time, the state is organizing to deal with the aging strategy of the population and improve the old age policy system, the old year's livable environment system and the health support for the elderly. Holding system, elderly economic support system, and elderly care service system.
at the same time, the Chinese government is also actively mobilizing, encouraging and supporting all kinds of social forces to participate in the construction of pension services. We should encourage social capital to enter the field of service for the aged, organize all kinds of private non enterprise units in the form of joint venture and sole proprietorship, actively establish volunteer service team and mobilize all kinds of people to participate in the community for the old service. At the beginning of
2008, a public welfare project aimed at systematized social service for the aged in China, the "love late project" was officially launched, will invest 10 billion yuan. In the next 5 to 8 years, the country has already entered the province of the aging population to build 20 living, leisure, cultural, and culture. Recovery and other functions of the center of love late.
at the same time, ordinary investors have also turned their attention to the field of providing for the aged. 3 years ago, Yuan Yanjing invested about 2000000 yuan in Beijing to establish a phoenix care and nursing home, to take care of some hospitals that could not be cured, the family is unable to care for the elderly, with them with dignity to finish the last journey of life. Although the business has not yet improved, Yuan Yanjing said, "anyway, I have the confidence to do this." "
" let enterprises enter the care of the elderly, this industry will promote the rapid development of the care industry, which is the subjective desire of the people, more is the urgent requirement of the times. " Hao Maishou said. He also advocated that the elderly should set up pension businesses and enterprises, so that the elderly could become the main force of the old enterprises, so that the elderly could have something to do.
in his view, after 2030, the pension system in China will be a system of social and family support for the aged. "Under this system, the children's old-age mode will change from direct pension to indirect pension, the elderly will change from the raised group into the elderly, and the state will change from the social security of some people." For the protection of all citizens.
