What are the problems of the rural elderly old age?

The rural old age problem faces many dilemmas and troubles, seriously affecting the normal life of the elderly. So what are the problems of the rural elderly old age?

One is that children are not at home, the rural elderly left behind. Now most of the rural laborers choose to go out to work, stay in the village are the most left-behind women, children and the elderly. If there are children at home, they can't go out, and the young people can still take care of the elderly at home. But some young people go out with their whole family, and their children follow their parents to school in the city where they live. There are also rural people who have bought houses in county towns and places where they work and moved their families out of the countryside. It is inconvenient for the elderly to live in the city, so they stay in the countryside. This creates the embarrassing phenomenon of the elderly having no one to take care of them. The elderly if the body is strong, food, clothing, housing and transportation is not a problem; if the age of the older, and the body is not good, do something is not convenient, life is difficult to imagine.

The second is the lack of an effective mechanism, the children to deal with the problem of old age confusion. Now there is no written regulations in rural areas, how to support the elderly. This causes a lot of confusion: some take turns to take care of five days, ten days, half a month, a month, and some take turns to take care of a year; some do not let the daughter's family to take care of, some let the daughter to take care of. The most incomprehensible is that the family brother and two, respectively, to take care of the father and mother, hard to separate the old two, many days can not meet!

Thirdly, there is a lack of nursing institutions and homes for the elderly in rural areas. Rural areas lack professional nursing institutions, some sons and daughters are too busy to take care of the elderly, but can not find a suitable nursing institution. There are professional nursing homes in the county, but they face many problems of being far away from the countryside and charging high fees.

Fourth, there is no recreational place for the elderly. Many rural areas do not have professional entertainment venues for the elderly, or play chess, or listen to opera, or fitness, etc.. They also do not play smart phones, do not understand the computer, can only talk in groups of three to five, nagging.
