城市老年人养老“时间储蓄”的实证研究——老年社会参与的视角

社会参与是老年人的基本需求和权利,健康长寿时代养老＂时间储蓄＂是老年社会参与领域出现的新实践。目前城市老年人对养老＂时间储蓄＂的知晓度较低,参与意愿仍有提升的空间。随着我国经济社会的发展、人口预期寿命的延长,老年社会保障制度的日臻完善,城市中低年龄老年人参与养老＂时间储蓄＂的需求和意愿较高,却在一定程度上受到健康、收入、文化技能以及家庭、社区环境的制约。促进养老＂时间储蓄＂常态化制度化是一项社会系统工程,需要动员政府和全社会的共同力量,营造我为人人、人人为我的社会风尚,加强老年教育和终身学习,引入地区差异的视角,通过完善政策和实施项目的途经,积极发挥老年人在社区和家庭中的作用。

An Empirical Study on Time Savings Program in Urban Edlerly Support:A Perspective of Social Participation of the Aged

Social participation is the basic needs and rights of the elderly. Time-saving program is a new type of social solution for the social participation and elderly support in the era of healthy longevity, However few elders even in urban know this program and the willingness for the urban elders to participate program need greatly be strengthened. With China＇s economic and social development, the extension of the life expectancy of the population and the continuing improvement of social security system, the urban younger elders should have increasing demands to participate time-saving program, but they are blocked away from the program because of various factors such as health, income, cultural skills, family and community environments. It is necessary to make time-saving program an institutionalized and normalized social system as a key part of social elderly support system. Thus any policies should be meaningful to help the elders to play active roles in both families and communities.
