The aging industry should keep pace with the "footsteps" of the elderly
>
a message has been seen recently. At present, the population of our country over 60 years old has reached 150 million people, accounting for 12% of the total population, and will be increasing at an annual average of 8 million people. It is estimated that by 2050, the population aged 60 and over will account for 1/3 of China's population, reaching 430 million. This number is really amazing. Has the country, society and family been ready to deal with the wave of silver tide before they get rich and enter the old age society and social security is not perfect?
survey shows that the supply and services of the elderly in mental and material aspects are relatively poor. First of all, the old people have a single way of leisure, which is suitable for the lack of cultural and entertainment items for the elderly. The main place for leisure activities in the elderly is home. Secondly, the supplies of old people are scarce. There are relatively few products specifically targeted at the elderly, especially for stores for the elderly. Third, the medical and health care market for the elderly is not standard. A wide variety of health care products for the elderly make it impossible for many "spending money to buy healthy" elderly people to distinguish correctly. Fourth, there are shortcomings in the service market for the elderly. With the growth of age, the physiological functions of the elderly gradually fade away, dealing with and dealing with some daily life trifles often appear to be ineffective, and some even can not take care of their own life and need to be taken care of. But at present, there are deficiencies in the hardware and software of the pension service market. The total amount of the pension service facilities is insufficient, and the contradiction between supply and demand is outstanding.
in traditional society, families bear the main function of providing for the aged. Therefore, the family has become the most important way for the elderly to meet the economic needs, spiritual needs and health needs. However, in the current transitional society in China, the function of the traditional family is increasingly influenced by many factors, and the function is weakened. The elderly's pension problem is not only a family, it needs the country and society to bear the responsibility of aging society more, meet the growing material and cultural needs of the elderly, increase the strength of the development of the aging industry and keep up with the pace of the social development of the aged.
a people-oriented society is bound to be a society full of emotions. The development of the elderly industry is an inevitable requirement to cope with the aging of population under the market conditions, and it is also an objective requirement to improve the living standard and quality of life of the elderly. It is a huge system project to keep the old people "footsteps", not only by one or more departments. It needs the high attention of the government and needs the guidance and support of the policy. Only the joint efforts of the whole society can do this great article well. We should carry forward the traditional virtues of the Chinese people, love the old and help the old, and let the whole society care for and care for the elderly, which is of inestimable significance for the construction of a socialist harmonious society.
