2. The income level of the elderly is generally not high, and the number of poor and low-income elderly people is still large.
3. The health status of the elderly is not optimistic, and there are more disabled and semi-disabled elderly people. In 20 15, the disabled and semi-disabled elderly population in urban and rural areas accounted for 18.3% of the elderly population, with a total of about 40.63 million.
4. The development of the aged care service industry is unbalanced, and the contradiction between supply and demand is still grim.

Extended data:
Some measures to take care of the elderly;
1, fully understand the demands of the elderly.
Through questionnaire survey, community follow-up and other multi-mode and multi-channel investigation modes, the problems and concerns that need to be solved in daily life, physical and mental health, entertainment and learning of the elderly with children are counted.
Government-led, effective multi-city and multi-sector linkage mechanism, making full use of the advantages of "internet plus", through the flow and interaction of data, let the needs of the elderly with children really land.
2. Guarantee the treatment system for the elderly with infants.
Under the existing social security system, it is necessary not only to ensure that the elderly have a sense of security and medical care, but also to ensure that their social security benefits are "seamlessly connected" so that they can rely on them at critical moments. Let the elderly with children integrate into the local family doctor health management, community pension and other service systems to achieve synchronous management services with local residents.
3. Attach great importance to mental health.
After the old people took their children into the new city, their sense of loneliness and helplessness improved significantly. It is suggested that the government should make full use of local resources, take the community as a unit, and let them participate in activities such as universities for the elderly, regional fitness organizations or community friendship, so that they can integrate into local life more quickly.
