Topic-Support for the elderly has become a social problem.
China is not only the country with the largest population, but also the country with the largest elderly population. With the aging of the population, the problem of providing for the aged follows.
First, the status quo of population aging
As we all know, China is a country with a large population in the world. The rapid growth of population has brought great pressure to China's economic development, affected the speed of social and economic development, and hindered the improvement of people's living standards. Therefore, even under the slogan of family planning, the population situation in China is worrying because of the huge population base and the inertia of population development.
However, when people are discussing how to control the population, a more serious problem is put in front of people-the aging of the population.
According to the data of the fourth population census, the population forecast of China shows that the age structure of China population is changing from adults to the elderly. What is worrying is that while the population of China is aging, the internal structure of the elderly population is also changing. According to the prediction of population experts, the average annual growth rate of the elderly in the first half of this century is 5 1‰, while the average annual growth rate of the elderly over 65 is 2‰. The average annual growth rate of the total population may be only 7‰ before it reaches its peak. Undoubtedly, these figures show that the elderly are the fastest growing population, and the focus and difficulty of aging work lies in the elderly. Because most elderly people aged 60-70 still have the ability to take care of themselves, and those over 80 need care most, and they have the highest probability of surviving or even staying in bed because of illness, and all this forces us to face a serious problem-the problem of supporting the elderly.
Second, the status quo that cannot be ignored
According to the China Reform News, a 69-year-old man from Jidong County robbed two passengers with a knife. After the robbery, he didn't run away, but waited for the police to catch him. It turns out that the elderly only live on subsidies from 600 yuan for one year. Today, with the rapid economic development and soaring prices, the annual expenditure of 600 yuan on a person is only a drop in the bucket, so he has the idea of robbery, just to have enough food and clothing in prison. After reading this news, I feel like I'm choking. An old man who is nearly 30 years old should have enjoyed his family happiness at home and shared it with his family, but he did not hesitate to break the law in order to get enough food and clothing.
The development of social security has gradually accelerated in recent years, but it must be noted that China's social security system is still not perfect, especially in today's aging society, how to let all the elderly enjoy the happy fruits of capitalism. With the implementation of family planning policy and the change of population structure, this situation is difficult to be alleviated. Because the current financing model is based on a relatively stable population structure. Xiang Huaicheng, chairman of the National Social Security Fund Council, said: "China's pension system is facing a severe test, and the future pension gap is as high as 9.10.5 trillion." According to the current endowment insurance system, most people born in the 1970s and 1980s at the peak of China's population are at or near retirement age 30 years later. When these people are facing retirement, how can their next generation afford such a huge pension expenditure due to the implementation of the family planning policy in China, that is, the family structure of 1:4? Moreover, at present, the trend of population aging has become increasingly obvious. Will this money be paid by the later insured? Will we have no money to retire tomorrow? Even if the country pays the bill in the end, the insured will bear the risk of currency depreciation. At present, there is no relevant safeguard measures for maintaining and increasing the value of pension funds in China. (As far as the current situation is concerned, the pension funds paid have obviously increased, but they have actually depreciated due to factors such as prices, macroeconomics and financial environment. Even if the country finally fills the pension gap, is the cost of reform too huge?
Third, the dilemma:
1, legal intervention is insufficient or powerless.
At present, the legislative level is mainly manifested in some laws, regulations or notices, local regulations and other forms. The basic law of endowment insurance has not yet been promulgated, and because these legislative forms are strong in policy, constantly changing and obvious in local differences, they lack the seriousness, standardization and authority that legal norms should have, which is not conducive to the central macro-control and the formation of a unified national labor market. There is no legal basis for the collection work, and administrative means alone are not binding on units or individuals.
In the law on the protection of the rights and interests of the elderly, some legal issues concerning the support of the elderly are clearly listed in a separate chapter. The Law on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of the Elderly stipulates that children have the obligation to support their parents, including life care, economic support and economic comfort. In real life, many children think that it is enough to give money to the elderly and let them live, but there should be another obligation, that is, spiritual comfort, that is, to call the elderly often and visit them at home often. Children should support and pay for the medical expenses of the elderly, and should also protect some of their parents' right to exist. It is necessary to ensure that the land contracted by parents is not abandoned or cultivated, and the income from farming belongs to the elderly. Everything shows that legally speaking, China has the obligation to support the elderly, and if it violates it, it will be investigated for criminal responsibility or civil responsibility.
2. The power of morality
Respecting the elderly is a fine tradition of the Chinese nation. Now our life is getting better and better, but we can never forget our parents who gave birth to me and raised us because life is good. She gave us life and brought us up. They brought me into society and taught me how to be a man. Don't forget that the kindness of parents is the minimum standard of being a man. Everyone should have a kind heart that respects their parents. Our conscience is not only buried in our hearts, but more importantly. Caring for and taking care of the lives of the elderly is not only the requirement and responsibility of the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation, but also the precious spiritual wealth handed down by our ancestors. In addition, we should also learn an old saying, "When people are old, they are old; Caring for all the old people around us and forming a good social atmosphere require the joint efforts of the whole society. More importantly, respect and support the elderly. It is the basic requirement of marriage and family relations and the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. Anyone with a conscience should do this,
Fourth, alternative solutions.
The elderly are a special group, which should be paid the greatest attention by the whole society both morally and legally, because they have made great contributions to the development of the whole society as former workers. Therefore, the state and society should give them special care, give them the most appropriate care when they need it most, and let them enjoy a happy old age. Give them support when they lose their labor force and get into trouble. This is not only the need of social fairness and justice, but also the superiority of humanistic care and socialist system.
Here I would like to make a few suggestions:
1. For the elderly in the whole society, the state should establish a perfect database system to collect comprehensive information of the elderly at all ages, such as physical condition and family status, and give different care and grant different living allowances according to the differences between urban and rural areas.
2. For the elderly living in remote rural areas, considering the inconvenience of traffic conditions and living services, try to gather the elderly together, set up well-equipped nursing homes in suitable places, and assign special personnel to take charge of daily life, so that they can enjoy their old age with the care of the whole society.
For the elderly living in cities, we should pay attention to service and enrich their lives. For the community, we should actively carry out community activities that care for the elderly and advocate respecting, loving and respecting the elderly. Actively carry out activities suitable for the elderly to enrich their old age. At the same time, encourage and mobilize social organizations, enterprises and individuals to set up nursing homes and invest in the pension industry. While advocating the whole society to pay attention to the elderly, it also reduces the burden on the country.
For families, we should pay more attention to spiritual comfort. Here I emphasize that the family attaches importance to the spiritual comfort of the elderly, which does not mean that the family can give up material support, but that the family is fulfilling material support. It is the duty and responsibility of every child to support the elderly. It is necessary to give the elderly a certain pension and emotional care on a regular basis. Because the old people in the city have little contact with people, they often feel lonely, so as a junior, you should spend as much time with the old people at home as possible, even if it's just chatting and taking a walk. It is true filial piety to accompany the elderly to walk outside, see old friends or go hiking on holidays.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) abstract
We should stand at the height of practicing Theory of Three Represents and building a harmonious and beautiful society, take the work of aging as a long-term task, and send warmth to the hearts of the elderly in a gentle and drizzling way, so that every elderly person can feel comfortable, have a harmonious family and truly feel the warmth of the big socialist family. In the future, we should, as always, start from ourselves and the small things around us, create a social atmosphere of caring for the elderly, mobilize social forces extensively, promote the work of respecting and loving the elderly, establish the wind of respecting the elderly, promote social civilization and progress, and make greater contributions to building a harmonious countryside and a harmonious society.
Finally, may all the old people in the world have a healthy and happy old age!
