With the basic formation of the miniaturization pattern of family structure, the 4-2-1 era (4 elderly, 2 middle-aged and 1 child) has officially arrived. In this era when the only child has become the mainstream, many young people are busy with their careers and lives, but they are often unable to take care of multiple elderly people, which makes the family's pension function gradually weakened. Therefore, the emergence of "empty nesters" has obvious characteristics of the times.
In a country where respect for the elderly and love for the young is regarded as a traditional virtue, the care for the elderly has always been a top priority for society. However, with the increasing pressure of work and life, many children are busy with work and entertainment, and have no time to take care of the elderly, which makes the elderly feel lonely and lonely. For the "empty nest" elderly living in most cities, they can take care of themselves and have a pension, but what they lack is often the companionship and spiritual communication of their children.
The author believes that the practice of asking and calling for children to "go home often" is certainly worthy of affirmation, but it is necessary to take positive action to fundamentally solve such problems. Because this is a social problem, it should be solved by **, society, and family, not by any single force.
On the issue of "empty nest" elderly, living nearby can provide space convenience for children to fulfill their filial piety, and it is also easy to make arrangements in time. However, for the vast rural areas where the level of new rural insurance is still too low, the problem of old-age pension will still be a task for a long time in the future, and the state must rely on continuously increasing financial investment to complete the transformation from "family pension" to "social pension".
At present, the level of professional services for the elderly is not high, and there is a lack of professional management companies and a large number of professional nursing staff, which restricts the development of China's pension service industry. Compared with some developed countries, there is a huge gap between our pension investment and services.
Novice assistance plan as the first department to deal with the current situation of the pension attaches great importance to, first of all, we must actively start to cultivate and establish a professional team of pension talents, not only to the elderly to eat well and dress warmly, but also to live a full and satisfying spiritual life;Secondly, it is necessary to increase the construction of pension institutions and hardware through financial investment, and meet the rapid arrival of an aging society from the perspective of development.
