The elderly population will exceed 400 million. How to deal with the aging trend?

Population aging should be a global problem. In fact, with the improvement of living standards and medical standards, it is normal for the population to age. The measures that can be taken to deal with the aging trend should be considered from the following aspects.

The first is how to serve these old people well. The elderly population has exceeded 400 million, which means that 400 million elderly people need some social services. How to make these elderly people enjoy their old age is a problem that the whole society needs to think about.

The first is the popularity of old-age care institutions. With the development of social economy, family-based pension can no longer meet the needs of the elderly. After all, many children have their own lives, and even some children and their parents don't live in the same city at all. At this time, old-age care institutions are needed to solve this problem.

Although with the increase of the elderly population, there are more and more old-age care institutions, but the old-age care institutions are not completely popular. Services and prices are also uneven. For the elderly in the city, the number of old-age care institutions needs to be more, and the infrastructure and corresponding guarantees need to be comprehensively improved.

Followed by medical security. When people are old, with the deterioration of physical function, there will be some diseases more or less, but the medical security of an old man is also a very big problem. On the one hand, how to ensure that these elderly people can get medical care when they are sick, on the other hand, we must solve the corresponding funding problem.

Many provinces and cities have raised the minimum payment period of their medical insurance in order to facilitate medical insurance management and expand medical insurance funds. A large part of the cost of medical insurance is the cost of the elderly. It is also a big problem for us to establish such a long-term mechanism to revitalize these funds.

The second is to consider how to solve the socialization problem brought about by the aging population. A remarkable feature of social aging is that the proportion of the elderly population is relatively high. And most elderly people can't make greater contributions, then the whole society will lose its vitality.

On the one hand, it encourages fertility. Many aging countries are encouraging childbearing, because the proportion of the elderly can only be reduced if there are enough new children. This can not only solve the problem of aging, but also make the whole society full of vitality.

Although every country has introduced various birth encouragement mechanisms, the effect is not particularly good. After all, the pressure of raising children is increasing. Educational problems and medical problems are very stressful for many ordinary families. However, the mechanism of encouraging fertility is certainly effective and can alleviate the aging to some extent.

The second is to encourage the elderly to exert their residual heat. In fact, the retirement age is constantly postponed to let the elderly play their residual heat. Although old people may not be as good as young people in learning and new things. But they have a lot of experiences and lessons, which can give some good feedback to the society.

Therefore, we should consider how to let the elderly use their own experience to give more guidance to all walks of life. Let the whole society be active because of their vitality, which is also a very good way to solve the aging trend. When 60-year-olds think they are no longer old, the cultural trend will certainly ease.
