How do you think the elderly in rural areas old age

In our country's rural areas, there are mainly the following ways of old age:

1, the family to raise a judgment to do the old

This is our country's rural areas the most important, the most common way of old age, but also alongside the "filial piety" in China's traditional culture of the concentration of the manifestation of it has other ways of old age is incomparable to the superiority of the way! It has the superiority that cannot be compared with other ways of old age, and will not be replaced by other ways of old age in a short period of time, and is still our mainstream way of old age. However, in the process of modernization, this traditional way of old age is being challenged by factors such as the reduction of family size, population mobility, loss of land, aging, etc., and there is a tendency for the quality of this way of old age to decline.

2, collective old-age

This is a very common in rural areas, it is a very common way of old age, it is by the collective economic organization of the old and sick, no one to support the elderly system. Its main forms are the five guarantees system and the nursing home system. This system to a certain extent to solve part of the rural elderly old age problem, but suitable for this way of old age, only a very small part of the rural elderly population, and can not become the main form of solving the problem of the rural elderly old age.

3, old-age insurance

With the increase in the number of rural elderly population and the weakening of the family pension function, old-age insurance is also a good pension system to solve their worries.

4, savings for old age

This kind of old age pension is only used by a small number of rural elderly people, who rely on their usual savings to prevent old age, and there is still a certain market in the countryside. Some rural residents have lost confidence in raising children for old age, and they believe that only money is reliable, so they save as much as they can and save for their old age.

Changes in the pension system:

Before the reform and opening up

Before the reform and opening up, the pension function of the urban family was strong, and the family and the unit combined their efforts to make the resources of pension services for the elderly well utilized, and each did their part, despite the limited resources. In the countryside, the government and the collective work together to provide old-age services for the "Five Guarantees" elderly, while other rural residents had to rely on their families and sometimes had to turn to their relatives and neighbors to take care of them. The dichotomous structure of Chinese society is also evident in the area of elderly care.

Post-reform and opening up

After the reform and opening up, with the intervention of the market economy, "unit people" evolved into "social people", and the phenomenon of enterprises running the society disappeared, with fewer and fewer welfare benefits for the units. In many enterprises, after the transition, workers have lost all chance of enjoying the benefits of the unit, and socialized management has been implemented after retirement. So far, the era of relying on units to provide all kinds of elderly services is gone, replaced by elderly services provided by communities and enterprises and various organizations.

In summary, with the rapid changes in the demographic, economic, political and cultural structure of society, the original social basis for the existence of old-age care services has ceased to exist, in order to adapt to the requirements of the times, the reconstruction of the old-age care system, the system has become an urgent task.
