With the intensification of the aging trend of the population, pension services have become the focus of social attention in China. The quality and level of pension services are directly related to the quality of life of the elderly, and also reflect the degree of civilization of the society. This paper will summarize the development status, challenges and future development trends of China's pension services, and put forward corresponding countermeasures and suggestions.
First, the development status of China's pension services.
1.Policy support has been strengthened. In recent years, China attaches great importance to the pension service industry, and has introduced a series of policies and measures to encourage social forces to participate in the pension service and promote the construction of the pension service system.
2.Pension service facilities have been gradually improved. Various forms of old-age service institutions such as nursing homes, day care centers, and community old-age service centers have been established to provide daily life care, first-class nursing, spiritual comfort and other services for the elderly.
3.The content of pension services is becoming more and more abundant. In addition to providing basic care services, more and more elderly care service projects have begun to pay attention to the spiritual and cultural needs of the elderly, carry out a variety of cultural and recreational activities, and improve the quality of life of the elderly.
2. Challenges faced by China's pension services.
1.Resources are unevenly distributed. There is a large gap between urban and rural areas and regions in China's pension service resources, and the rural pension service facilities are relatively backward and the service level is uneven.
2.There is a shortage of skilled workers. The demand for professionals in the pension service industry is growing, but at present, the construction of China's pension service talent team is relatively lagging behind, and the level of professional services needs to be improved.
3.The family pension function is weakened. With the increase of single-child families and the intensification of population mobility, the traditional family pension model has been impacted, and the family pension function has gradually weakened.
Third, the future development trend of China's pension services.
1.Community elderly care services will become mainstream. Community pension services have the advantages of convenience and low cost, which can meet the needs of the elderly and will become the focus of the development of pension services in China.
2.Smart elderly care services will become a new trend. Use modern information technology to promote the intelligence and convenience of pension services, and improve the quality and efficiency of pension services.
3.The integration of medical care and elderly care will become an important model. Integrate medical resources and pension resources, realize the seamless connection between medical care and elderly care, and provide a full range of health care services for the elderly.
Fourth, countermeasures and suggestions.
1.Increase policy support and improve the construction of the pension service system. **We should continue to increase investment in pension services, improve relevant policies, encourage social forces to participate in pension services, and promote the construction of pension service system.
2.Optimize the allocation of resources and improve the level of rural pension services. Strengthen the construction of rural pension service facilities, improve the level of rural pension services, and narrow the gap between urban and rural areas and regions.
3.Strengthen personnel training and improve the professional level of pension services. Intensify the training of senior service personnel and improve the overall quality of the pension service industry.
4.Carry forward traditional virtues and strengthen the function of family care for the elderly. Strengthen the education of the concept of family pension, encourage children to fulfill their maintenance obligations, and give play to the basic role of the family in the provision of services for the elderly.
5.Promote social participation and build a diversified pension service pattern. Encourage enterprises, social organizations, volunteers, etc. to actively participate in pension services, and build a diversified pension service pattern.
In short, pension service is a systematic project, which requires the joint efforts of enterprises, society and families. By innovating service models and improving service quality, we can create a warmer and more comfortable life for the elderly in their old age.
