What are the modes of providing for the aged in rural areas of China? What are the main categories?

1, family pension. Take the family as the center and rely on children's relatives to provide for the elderly. This is the mainstream of rural old-age care at present. Old people have their own children, daughter-in-law, son-in-law, then grandchildren and so on. As a family, family members have the obligation to support the elderly.

Even if the children are not around, relatives and friends who also live in the countryside will help take care of the elderly. Moreover, in the traditional culture of China, there has always been the shadow of "filial piety". Failure to support the elderly is unfilial and will be looked down upon by the villagers.

2. Community pension. Relying on villages or villages, it gives full play to the strength of the government, communities, families and individuals, rationally develops, allocates and uses community resources, and provides support for the elderly. Specifically, it is to open nursing homes, welfare homes and pension centers.

Rural community pension is the development direction of rural social pension at present. Rural community pension has its unique advantages and high flexibility, which can be adapted to local conditions.

Relying on villages or villages, it gives full play to the strength of the government, communities, families and individuals, rationally develops, allocates and uses community resources, and provides support for the elderly.

3. Private pension. Some private enterprises invest in nursing homes. And personal choices that are willing to support the elderly. Generally, such nursing homes charge higher fees.

Extended data:

According to the data of the National Office for Aging, the process of population aging in China is accelerating at present. At the end of 20 17, the number of elderly people over 60 in China has reached 24 10/00000, and it is estimated that by 2050, the number of elderly people in China will reach a peak of 487 million.

Among them, compared with cities and towns, the development of social undertakings in rural areas is seriously lagging behind, the pension and medical security system for rural residents is still not perfect, and the level of security is low.

"The aging of rural population is higher than the national average. At the same time, the gap with cities and towns is widening, and the state of urban and rural areas will continue until 2040. " Yang Juhua, a professor at the Institute of Aging of Renmin University of China and a researcher at the National Institute of Development and Strategy, said that China's aging development is unbalanced.

On the one hand, the aging level of urban and rural population is upside down, that is, the aging level in rural areas is higher than that in urban areas for a long time; On the other hand, it is manifested in the unbalanced regional development.

For example, except Tibet, the rural aging rate in all provinces has exceeded 10%, and even Liaoning and Chongqing have exceeded 20%.

The characteristics of "urban-rural upside down" reflected by urban-rural differences are closely related to the level of economic and social development and the fertility differences caused by the accelerated urbanization process. A large number of young people leave the central and western rural areas and migrate to the east and cities, which is the leading factor of rural population aging at this stage.

And this kind of population transfer has effectively reduced the proportion of elderly people living in cities. Undoubtedly, the regional differences of population aging increase the complexity of coping.

"Providing for the aged is a difficult problem we are facing, especially in rural areas. Judging from the current social reality, urban pension is becoming the blue ocean of entrepreneurship, and various modern and humanized pension models emerge one after another, which are widely favored and concerned by social capital, public welfare forces and the media.

However, we can't ignore that China is a big agricultural country, and the rural population, especially the elderly, accounts for a large proportion. With the influx of young labor into cities, the degree of empty nest in rural areas is becoming more and more serious.

The short version of the rural pension system and the shortage of resources are also more prominent. To some extent, we need to pay enough attention to the rural pension problem. "

Who will speak for the rural elderly? Who will pay attention to rural people's later life? What roles and responsibilities should the state, society and citizens play in it? This is a major problem that needs to be studied and solved urgently.

Some experts predict that by 2030, the elderly population in China will be close to 300 million, and the proportion of empty nesters will reach 90%, which means that there will be more than 200 million empty nesters, a considerable proportion of whom will be distributed in rural areas, and rural empty nesters will become more and more important.
