What is the basis of providing for the aged in China?

China's old-age care is mainly based on family care.

Family support for the elderly means that the elderly spend their old age under the care and care of family members, which is a traditional way of providing for the elderly in China. In China, family pension is supported and guaranteed by law and society. The Law of the People's Republic of China on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of the Elderly clearly stipulates that the state encourages and supports family support for the elderly and ensures that the elderly are cared for and cared for at home.

The way of providing for the aged is as follows:

1. Family support for the elderly: Family support for the elderly means that the elderly spend their old age under the care and care of family members. This is the traditional Chinese way of providing for the aged, and it is also the most common way. The advantage of family pension is that the elderly can be accompanied and cared for by their relatives, and at the same time they can enjoy the warmth and comfort of the family.

2. Institutional pension: Institutional pension means that the elderly spend their old age in professional institutions such as nursing homes and nursing homes. The advantage of institutional pension is that it can provide professional medical, nursing and rehabilitation services, as well as social and recreational activities for the elderly. However, there are also some problems in institutional pension. For example, the elderly may feel lonely and lost, and they need to pay higher fees.

3. Community support for the elderly: Community support for the elderly means that the elderly spend their old age in the community and get support and help from community residents and social organizations. The advantage of supporting the elderly in the community is that the elderly can keep in touch with the community and get help and support from the community residents. Community pension can also provide some social and recreational activities for the elderly, and improve their quality of life and happiness.

To sum up, China's pension is based on family pension, which is supported and guaranteed by law and society. Family support for the aged is an important part of China's traditional culture and has an important position. The government supports and guarantees the development of family pension by formulating and perfecting relevant laws and regulations and introducing policies and measures.
