survey group reclaimed 1995 valid questionnaires with the overall sample frame of all 60 and older people in urban and rural areas in Ji'nan.
researchers found that 92.4% of the elderly believed that life could be satisfied and full, but 21.3% of the elderly answered, "there was enough for the rest of the day, but not enough for the elderly." 51.9% of the elderly considered "more satisfactory, higher living standards", and 41.4% of the elderly answered, "it's OK, the standard of living basically has not changed much", and the two added up to 93.3%. This also shows that the vast majority of the elderly can live up to their own food and clothing and adequate food and clothing, and feel satisfied or satisfied with their life.
in addition to self evaluation, the survey also found that only 1/3 of the elderly were retired from retirement, and nearly half of the elderly depended on their children and spouses, and the economic conditions of the elderly were generally lower than the social average.
Psychology: happiness is about four factors
from the old man's self - Evaluation of happiness, 70.2% of the elderly think they are happy, and the unhappiness accounts for 5.1%. In the course of the survey, some investigators were concerned about the unhappiness of the elderly. In the questionnaire, they responded to the "unhappiness" column to make special marks, mainly for economic reasons, unfilial children, poor health, or special misfortunes in the family.
85.9% of the elderly feel filial piety in their children's filial piety, and 9.4% of the elderly express their dissatisfaction with their children, and only 3.3% of the elderly clearly answer their children's unfilial piety.
in the survey of loneliness or not, although 75.8% of the elderly were not alone, the lonely elderly accounted for nearly 15%, which was also a small number. Experts believe that 15% of the elderly in the society under the control of the lonely intention factors, may produce a variety of bad behavior or violation of the normal performance, which will bring a certain impact on social stability, and need more care and help from the society. Health: the difficulty of "seeing a doctor" is more difficult than the children's unfilial
this survey, the researchers found that only nearly half of the elderly are basically healthy, 29.6% of the elderly are weak, ill, or seriously ill.
in the face of the difficulties encountered by themselves, 30.2% of the elderly who have been investigated are out of money to buy medicine. Although there is medical security, the cost of medical treatment is too expensive and 21.3% of the burden is difficult to afford. The sum is more than half of all the difficult options.

"prescription": first, we should improve the pension and medical insurance
how to support the elderly and how to make the elderly happier? According to the survey results, Zhu Dongmei and the investigation team suggested that we should first speed up the endowment insurance and medical insurance. "
" endowment insurance and medical insurance are the most direct and effective ways to solve the poor economic independence of the elderly, the low economic living standard and the expensive problems of seeing a doctor. " They believe that to expand the coverage as soon as possible, improve the level of medical insurance, in the old-age insurance and medical insurance system should pay special attention to gender differences, pay attention to the participation rate of women and the level of protection.
at the same time, experts suggest that in view of the obvious dependence on families and children in urban and rural areas of Ji'nan, the city should continue to promote a variety of pension models that combine home care and community services.
