Every year at the National Two Sessions, pension is a hot topic that has attracted much attention. This year's "** work report" proposes to strengthen the supply of supplies and services for the elderly, and vigorously develop the "silver economy". What are the current improvements in the lives of the elderly? In the future, what else can we expect from pension? On the sidelines of the meeting, Chen Weihong, the host of CCTV on the main station, contacted an old man, what did they talk about? Immediately enter the "Weihong at the Two Sessions" on March 7.
"One meal" seems like a trivial matter, but for many elderly people who are old, empty nesters, and lonely widows, it is a top priority. With the intensification of China's aging society, "difficulty in eating" has become a major problem that plagues the lives of the elderly. How can we make it convenient and comfortable for the elderly? Since last year, the documents on the development of community canteens and meal services for the elderly have been intensively promulgated, and this year's "Work Report" has also made it clear that it is necessary to strengthen the construction of urban and rural community pension service networks and strengthen the supply of supplies and services for the elderly. All localities are actively building a "ten-minute dining service circle" to create door-to-door food delivery services. A hot meal not only warms the happiness of the elderly, but also allows the children to let go of their worries.
It is not only to solve the problem of "difficulty in eating" for the elderly, but also to solve the problem of "difficulty in eating" for the elderly, in recent years, from the first to the local, a number of policies such as the construction of the basic pension service system and the transformation of the elderly. In May 2023, the Office of the Central Committee and the Office of the State Council issued the "Opinions on Promoting the Construction of the Basic Pension Service System", proposing that by 2025, the basic pension service system will cover all the elderly; On September 1, 2023, the Law on the Construction of a Barrier-free Environment will come into effect, and more than 700,000 elderly families with special difficulties across the country have undergone age-appropriate transformation.
At this year's two sessions, the attention of many representatives and members is also related to the topic of pension.
Huang Jiusheng, a deputy to the National People's Congress, said in an interview that guiding young people and social capital to go to rural areas to participate in some infrastructure construction and hardware investment for the elderly in rural areas not only helps them materially, but also makes them more happy at the spiritual level.
Chen Weihong introduced that in recent years, aging has given birth to a considerable scale of "silver economy", and many industries have erupted in new development directions. For example, a new generation of information technology, mobile terminals, wearable devices, service robots and other cutting-edge, intelligent devices are gradually entering the homes of the elderly, opening up a huge space for imagination. For another example, the new demand for elderly care services has given birth to a series of new professions such as elderly bathing assistants, elderly escorts, and health care nurses, attracting many "post-90s" and "post-00s" young people to join.
At present, the scale of China's "silver economy" is about 7 trillion yuan, accounting for about 6% of GDP. According to experts, by 2035, this data will reach about 30 trillion yuan, accounting for about 10% of GDP, which is a huge "blue ocean".
The old have support, the old have something to rely on, and the old have something to do. In the future, we look forward to the "silver economy" becoming a sunrise industry, turning "pension" into "enjoying old age", and making the life of the elderly more "young".
