(A) change the traditional concept of aging: from "healthy aging" to "active aging"
"Healthy aging" refers to personal achievements in five aspects: physical, psychological, intellectual, social and economic.
Still intact. If a large proportion of the elderly in a country or region belong to healthy aging, the role of the elderly can be fully exerted, and the negative effects of aging are limited or alleviated, then the aging process or phenomenon may be healthy aging or successful aging. Healthy aging is our basic strategy to meet the challenge of aging, but it is not our ultimate goal. How to make the elderly population a constructive force for social development is the most important. Therefore, we must combine the spirit of the times, transcend the traditional concept of healthy aging, and realize the transformation to the concept of "active aging".
(B) to establish a diversified pension model based on family pension.
Oriental culture and values attach great importance to family pension. "Parents are here, so you should travel well even if you don't travel far", which is very typical.
Put forward the concept that the responsibility of providing for the aged is higher than personal development. For many years, family pension is the only pension model in China, which has played an important role in promoting intergenerational harmony and social stability, showing strong vitality and superiority. After entering the aging society, although this model has been challenged, we still adhere to the leading position of family pension. In addition, in order to better cope with the challenge of aging population, we must further improve the social pension service system, and make socialized pension a useful supplement to the family pension model, which can be cultivated from the following aspects: First, actively cultivate various social organizations serving the elderly. This kind of social organization is still in the initial growth stage in China, and its development needs the promotion of national laws and systems to give full play to its role in social affairs and become a new force to deal with the aging population. Second, give play to the role of the market mechanism. Through the market mechanism, enterprises are encouraged to increase their investment in the cause of providing for the aged and reduce the investment of state public funds. Develop the pension industry, meet the multi-level needs of the elderly, innovate various service methods, and promote socialized pension. The old-age care industry can extend its services to the elderly, providing them with insurance, financial management, housing, medical care and other services, so that the elderly can make all kinds of preparations for entering old age. Third, give full play to the advantages of community pension services. An institutional innovation of social support for the aged in China is to rely on the community to promote home-based care for the aged, which is a positive measure with China characteristics to deal with the aging population. Providing for the aged in the community can make more effective use of existing resources, and the elderly can also spend their old age in their familiar environment.
(C) the development of gerontology, to extend the "life"
China's natural life expectancy per capita is at a high level in the world, but the life expectancy of the elderly population is still low in the world.
Relatively low, that is, residents' healthy living time is short. The number of elderly people who have lost their ability to live due to illness and disability has increased significantly, which has brought a heavy burden to the country, society and families. As China enters an aging society, the further increase of various medical expenses will bring greater burden to the social economy. Solving the problem of excessive medical burden is an important part of solving a series of social problems of population aging. Therefore, we must vigorously develop geriatrics, realize the balance of medical resources, especially do a good job in primary health care for the elderly, and provide appropriate and timely primary health care for the elderly. This mainly includes early detection, timely treatment, medical management and post-care of diseases. Developing geriatrics is an important way to solve the problem of increasing medical expenses caused by aging. Because the sooner the disease is found, the easier it is to treat. If the medical and health system misses the opportunity of timely diagnosis and treatment of senile diseases, which will lead to the increase and deterioration of senile diseases, it will further increase the social burden and increase the impact of population aging on social economy.
(4) Promoting legislation for the elderly and safeguarding their legitimate rights and interests.
To solve the problem of population aging, it is necessary to speed up the establishment and improvement of relevant laws and regulations and promote the cause of aging in China according to law. our country
The Law of the People's Republic of China on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of the Elderly has been promulgated in 1996, but the legal system construction of aging work still lags behind the development of the cause of aging, and many civil disputes involving the elderly lack special laws and regulations. In order to effectively safeguard the rights and interests of the elderly and develop the cause of the elderly, we should formulate community service law, housing law and welfare law for the elderly as soon as possible. Practice has proved that establishing and perfecting the legal system for the elderly can better adjust the legal relationship involving the elderly, punish illegal acts that infringe on their legitimate rights and interests, promote family harmony, and provide guarantee for carrying forward the fine tradition and style of respecting and loving the elderly of the Chinese nation.
(five) the implementation of flexible retirement system, the rational use of elderly talents.
Raise the upper limit of working age in a timely manner, so as to keep the proportion of working-age population and the dependency coefficient in a water conducive to economic development.
Generally speaking, the working-age population is in the core and leading position in the total population. The high proportion of working-age population shows that labor resources are abundant and the support coefficient is low, which is conducive to economic development; The low proportion of working-age population will lead to the decrease of labor resources and the increase of support coefficient, which will restrict economic development. The upper limit of working age in China is 59 years old, which was determined in 1950s according to the level of productivity and life expectancy per capita. In the past 50 years, China's social productivity has been greatly improved, and the average life expectancy has been extended to 70 years. If the retirement age stays at the level of 50 years ago, it will be unfavorable to the effective development and utilization of labor resources and to deal with the crisis of population aging. Therefore, China can learn from foreign experience, implement a flexible retirement system, and appropriately relax the retirement age for some industries and industries with high technology content. The state can improve people's ability to adapt to the labor market through skill development and training, delay the retirement age and alleviate the pressure of population aging. All localities can establish a talent pool for the elderly, make rational use of the elderly talents, and make some elderly people, such as teachers, doctors, lawyers and scientific and technological personnel, return to the workplace or join the community to serve the elderly, thus alleviating the pressure of aging population faced by China's social security.
