Today, society has undergone a seismic shift, and a standard of living that was almost unimaginable forty years ago has been largely achieved. With the completion of the national poverty alleviation task, the living standards of the people have been significantly improved. However, with the passage of time, our country has also entered a state of aging population. According to the results of the seventh population census in 2021, the number of elderly people over 60 years old in China has reached 26.4 billion people, accounting for 18 percent of the total population7%。There are four main problems that these seniors are likely to face in the next decade, knowing early and preparing early. First of all, the issue of old-age care is a major challenge for the elderly. The physical condition of the elderly over 60 years old is not as good as before, and they are facing the problem of providing for the elderly. In the past, it was said that "raising children to prevent old age", but now that the pressure of life is increasing, the living conditions of children may not be satisfactory, how can they have the spare energy to provide for the elderly?Especially for the elderly with many children in the family, the problem of old-age care is more prominent, and it may even lead to conflicts between siblings. In rural areas, many elderly people live alone, not because they do not want to share the joy of family life with their children, but because they do not want their children's families to be full of conflict. It is said that now there is a pension for people over 60 years old, and this is true.

However, a monthly pension of only a few hundred yuan is far from meeting the living needs of the elderly, so the elderly over 60 years old have to use their flexible bodies to continue to work to earn pension expenses. However, due to the decline in physical condition, the problem of providing for the elderly has become more and more difficult. Second, health issues are another important challenge for older people. Most of the people over the age of 60 came from the age of poverty. Back then, they built roads, dug rivers, and delivered food, which had already exhausted their bodies. Although it is rare to suffer from a serious illness, it is inevitable to suffer from a mild illness for life. Many elderly people rely on painkillers, blood pressure medications, and blood sugar lowering drugs every day to get through day after day. As they age, their health concerns become more of a concern. At present, more elderly people are suffering from chronic diseases, and even diseases such as heart disease and cerebral thrombosis, which were more common in the past, have now begun to threaten the elderly over 60 years old. For older people, they will face even more serious health problems in the next decade. Third, loneliness and depression are psychological problems that older people may face. As they age, older people's social circles shrink, and the loss of friends and loved ones makes them feel lonely.

Especially in cities, where older people are more likely to feel lonely and helpless because of the fast-paced life and the prevalence of living alone. Loneliness and depression can seriously affect the physical and mental health of older adults and even increase the risk of illness and death. Therefore, it is very important to pay attention to the mental health problems of the elderly and provide appropriate social support and psychological counseling to alleviate their loneliness and depression. Finally, financial stress is also a major concern for the elderly. As they age, their income** gradually decreases, and their pensions and pensions are far from meeting their needs. Many older people have to rely on the financial support of their children to make ends meet. However, this financial pressure may bring shame and embarrassment to the elderly, and it can also have a certain impact on the parent-child relationship. Therefore, providing financial assistance and social security for the elderly to reduce their financial burden is an issue that society should pay attention to. All in all, with the increase of China's aging population, the problems faced by the elderly are becoming more and more prominent. Pension problems, health problems, loneliness, depression and financial stress are all difficult problems that older people need to solve. Society should increase its care and support for the elderly, and create better living conditions and social environment for them.

Only in this way can the elderly live a happy and healthy life in their old age. Starting from the living conditions of the elderly, this paper focuses on the analysis of the problems faced by the elderly and their causes. Firstly, the problems of the elderly in rural areas losing their chat places, loneliness and depression are pointed out, and then echoing the social isolation of the elderly with the development of science and technology, and finally concluding that the problems of the elderly will become more and more prominent, and proposing that more care and support should be provided for the elderly, pay attention to the mental health problems of the elderly, and provide them with more opportunities for social communication and activities, so that they can no longer be lonely and depressed, and live a full and happy life in their later years. The new article can start from the psychological state of the elderly, and better reflect the practical problems faced by the elderly and their causes through in-depth analysis of the changes in the psychological activities of the elderly and the meaning behind their behaviors. The following is the full text structure of the new article: 1. Changes in the psychological activities of the elderlyThe psychological state of the elderly plays an important role in life, and the changes in their psychological activities will directly affect their quality of life. For the elderly, they are always nostalgic for the old days, when they had their own social circles, a busy and fulfilling life, but now they have become lonely and empty.

This psychological change makes older people become less and less confident, lack independence, and even become negative and pessimistic. 2. Problems faced by the elderly and their causesThe problems faced by the elderly are not only material problems, but also psychological and social problems. They have lost a place to chat, become lonely, need to solve their own livelihood problems, are alone every day, and their depression is getting worse. In addition, older people face social isolation, and the development of technology has made it impossible for older people to adapt to this new era, and social isolation will be almost completely isolated. The root cause of these problems lies in the lack of social attention to the elderly and the lack of care and support for the elderly. 3. Solutions for the elderlyIn order to solve the problems faced by the elderly, the society needs to strengthen its attention and support for the elderly. More care and support should be provided for the elderly, attention should be paid to the mental health problems of the elderly, and more opportunities for social communication and activities should be provided for them, so that they can no longer be lonely and depressed, and live a full and happy old age. In addition, society also needs to raise awareness and understanding of older persons and encourage them to actively participate in social activities so that they can continue to play their role and contribute to society.

IV. ConclusionWith the increasing trend of population aging, the problem of the elderly has become an important issue that needs to be solved urgently. We should start from the psychological state of the elderly, deeply analyze the practical problems faced by the elderly and their causes, provide more care and support for the elderly, pay attention to the mental health problems of the elderly, and let them live a full and happy life in their old age. This is not only related to social stability and even future development, but also a kind of inheritance and inheritance of human civilization and wisdom.
