以社区照顾理念发展农村养老服务事业

我国农村地区的老龄化程度高于城市,由于青壮年劳动力的大量流出,导致农村"空巢"现象严重,老年人口抚养比急剧上扬,不仅使经济落后的农村地区养老的经济负担更为沉重,而且给农村家庭养老照护服务带来了更大的压力。社区照顾的理念和方法有助于弥补家庭照顾和机构照顾的不足,适合农村地区的社会现实和农村老年人的心理,能够有效解决农村养老服务供给失衡的问题。我国政府借鉴社区照顾模式,出台了一系列推动社区养老服务发展的政策措施,取得了一定的成效,但是,农村养老服务仍然面临一系列的发展难题。

The Development of the Rural Aged Care Service under the Concept of Community Care

The degree of the aging population in rural areas is higher than that in urban areas.The outflow of young labors from rural areas causes the rural“Empty Nest”phenomenon more serious.The sharply-rising of the rural aged dependency ratio not only puts a heavy financial burden on the economically backward rural areas,but also puts much pressure on the rural family care service.The concept and method of community care,which suits the rural social reality and the rural aged psychological condition and can effectively address the imbalance between supplying and demanding of rural aged care service,is conductive to covering the shortage and deficiency of the aged care in families and institutions.The Chinese national government,with the community care mode used for reference,has introduced a series of policies to promote the development of community care service,and despite all that,there still exist a list of problems on the road of the development of rural aged care service.
