At noon on March 3, representatives of the Sichuan delegation to the fourth session of the 13th National People's Congress departed from Chengdu and went to Beijing *** to the event. As a member of the Sichuan delegation representatives from Meishan, the National People's Congress, the famous national painter He Xuebin with "on the implementation of intelligent background of special groups favorable policy recommendations" together to Beijing to participate in the meeting.
"As of the end of 2019, China's population aged 60 and above accounted for as much as 18.1 percent, but only about 60 million of them are online. That means there are close to 200 million older people, who may become 'outsiders' in an intelligent society." He Xuebin, a deputy to the National People's Congress, said his suggestion at this year's National People's Congress is to implement favorable policies for special groups in the context of intelligence.
He Xuebin said that with the high-speed development of intelligent services on the Internet, our daily lives have become more and more convenient. However, for special groups in society, especially for the elderly, the development of intelligent services does not seem to have really changed their lives, but rather "constrained" their normal life.
"For example, if you go out to take a taxi and don't know how to use the taxi software, you can't get a taxi while standing on the side of the road; if your children buy smart home appliances for the elderly that have a lot of functions and are complicated to operate, they are basically just for show at home; if you can't get a health code during an epidemic, you are 'grounded'; if you go to the hospital, the queue is much longer than when young people make appointments online. , queuing for a long time is not as fast as the young people online appointment."
He Xuebin introduced, "China's Internet development status statistical report" shows that, as of March 2020, China's netizen mode up to 904 million, of which 60 years of age and above netizen group accounted for only 6.7%. And according to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, as of the end of 2019, China's population aged 60 and above accounted for 18.1%. This means that nearly 200 million elderly people have become "outsiders" of the intelligent society because they can't keep up with the pace of Internet development.
He Xuebin said that on Nov. 24, 2020, the General Office of the State Council issued the Notice on the Implementation Plan for Effectively Solving the Difficulties of the Elderly in the Use of Intelligent Technology, which started to solve the difficulties of special groups in the era of intelligence from the top design level, but the plight of the elderly in the era of intelligence has not been effectively solved.
"In order to put the country's favorable policies into practice, truly reflecting the people-centered development concept, so that everyone can enjoy a better life in the age of intelligence, I put forward a five-point proposal." He Xuebin introduced, first, strengthen the policy publicity. Make full use of web pages, WeChat, self media and other convenient information dissemination channels to the whole society to widely publicize the Notice on the Implementation Plan for Effectively Solving the Difficulties of the Elderly in the Use of Intelligent Technology; in addition, we should publicize the favorable policies to the elderly groups through the traditional publicity channels such as pulling banners, posting slogans, telephone publicity, door-to-door promotion, and so on. In the whole society to create a good atmosphere to pay attention to the special difficulties of the elderly groups;
The second is to improve the implementation of the policy. Provinces, municipalities directly under the central government, autonomous regions should establish as soon as possible "to solve the difficulties of the elderly use of intelligent technology" work to promote the mechanism. Grass-roots party committees and governments and departments at all levels should strengthen work coordination and information***sharing, forming a work pattern of coordinated promotion, division of labor and responsibility, and up-and-down linkage;
Thirdly, the policy should be strengthened to enhance the supervision of the policy. All regions and departments, especially medical, civil affairs, industry and commerce, telecommunications, transportation and other functional departments involved in the field of people's livelihood, should timely track and analyze the implementation of relevant policies and measures involving their own regions and departments, and should regularly carry out tracking-type supervision of the implementation of policies by all sectors of society;
The fourth is to improve the policy system in accordance with local conditions. Provinces, municipalities directly under the central government, autonomous regions across the country should take the Notice on the Implementation Plan for Effectively Solving the Difficulties of the Elderly in the Use of Intelligent Technology as a blueprint, and formulate specific and feasible operational rules and implementation measures in accordance with local conditions, centering on the matters of basic necessities of life for the elderly groups, such as transportation and travel, medical consultation, shopping and consumption, and daily business handling. For example, the medical service field to introduce policies, stipulating that all medical service places must retain manual service and cash payment function; smart phone manufacturing enterprises to introduce incentive policies to encourage enterprises to make ageing of smart phones, so that the elderly groups better and more convenient operation of smart phones, enjoy intelligent services.
The last suggestion is to explore widening the coverage of the policy. He Xuebin said that on the basis of the facilitation of intelligent services for the elderly, further exploration and research to adapt to the new era of the new situation of good policies, the beneficiary groups to the disabled, left-behind children, low-education groups and other special groups to extend, and gradually realize the intelligent services of the whole society **** enjoy.
