What are the problems and causes of rural old-age care?

1, there is no rural pension plan. Farmers are basically "never too old". As long as you can move, you can rely on your own land. This way of "land survival" directly leads to the extreme importance of "raising children to prevent old age". Raising children for old age is a traditional custom in China, and it is also the fundamental reason why farmers will not give up until they have sons.

2. Rural old-age care is not guaranteed. Farmers are facing the loess and facing the sky, doing something old. Whether you can enjoy your old age depends mainly on your children's economic conditions and filial piety. When they can't walk, they wait to rely on their children or resign themselves to fate.

Second, the reasons for the status quo of rural pension

1, the economic burden is aggravated. Chinese traditional culture pays attention to "many children and many blessings". Many children mean that the elderly have more sources of support, but the emergence of the one-child phenomenon in modern society makes it extremely difficult for the parents of the only child to provide for the elderly. On the other hand, rural pension subsidies are too low to provide basic living security for the elderly. If children can't provide financial assistance, their lives will be in trouble.

2. A large number of rural young laborers go out to work all the year round and cannot take care of the elderly at home. Some young couples pay more attention to the education and growth of their children, and their limited time, energy and financial resources are tilted towards the only child or the only daughter, resulting in the phenomenon of "favoring boys over girls". When children are not around all the year round, family pension will become a bubble.

3. With the continuous improvement of living standards and medical standards, people's average life expectancy is prolonged, and their health status begins to deteriorate with age. Sickness and disability lead to the decline of self-care ability of the elderly, and the problem of food and clothing is serious, and the help of relatives and neighbors is extremely limited. Old people can only carry it by themselves when they are sick.

suggestion

1, which is a rural pension mode of "children's support, supplemented by state subsidies and social assistance". Encourage families to provide for the elderly, and children are the spiritual sustenance of the elderly and cannot be replaced. Filial piety should be included in the category of building a harmonious society, and traditional virtues should be promoted to make the "empty nest" of the elderly different from "hollowness".

2. Establish a rural pension system. Urge children to pay the old-age expenses for their parents regularly, and on the other hand, subcontract the land of the rural elderly to others or organize farming, and the proceeds will be included in the pension fund.

3. It is to support and subsidize the elderly to support each other. Old people in rural areas are homesick and unwilling to leave their homeland where they were born and raised. They should be encouraged to concentrate on helping each other to provide for the elderly, on accommodation and on taking care of each other.
