Dr. Li Zhihong, director of the Policy Research Department of China Association for aging, said at the high-end Seminar on "implementing the national strategy for actively responding to population aging" a few days ago that the opinions of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on strengthening the aging work in the new era put forward that we should strive to build a new pattern of coordinated development of the aging cause and the aging industry, and actively promote aging The integration of the two concepts of healthy aging into the whole process of economic and social development embodies the latest achievements in the innovation of aging theory and the latest experience in the practice of aging work. Healthy aging is not a new proposition, but a very important concept. Healthy aging was first proposed at the World Health Assembly in May 1987. After decades of evolution, the international healthy aging strategy has formed a set of relatively mature concepts and consensus: first, the goal of healthy aging is the length and quality of life of the elderly, especially the quality of life; Second, healthy aging highlights the dignity and freedom of the elderly. The dimensions of healthy aging include physical health, mental health, action ability and social function health. For the elderly, "living long" does not mean "living better". Although the elderly now live longer than in the past, the key to the problem is whether they become healthier. A very important aspect is to create an age-friendly social and cultural environment, so as to mobilize more social forces and promote the implementation of the healthy aging China program more smoothly and continuously. In practice, we should eliminate age discrimination and advocate the social orientation of "learning", "using" and "doing". Create an age-friendly and healthy aging environment by advocating the concept of lifelong learning and contributing to society. Many places have set up universities for the elderly, so that the elderly can constantly update their knowledge structure and keep pace with the times. Nowadays, the education level of the elderly is higher than in the past. In addition to appropriately extending the retirement age, more industries suitable for the elderly can be developed to let the elderly give full play to their waste heat. We should widely publicize the new concept of healthy aging, change the old understanding of the elderly group, and oppose age discrimination from the aspects of legislation and media reports. This helps the elderly to establish a healthy state of mind and make life more quality. We should establish and improve the social security system and cover all citizens of all the elderly. With the only child born during the family planning period gradually becoming the backbone of society, the burden of family pension is also increasing. For a long time, China's elderly care has formed a "9073" pattern, that is, about 90% of the elderly provide for the elderly at home, about 7% provide for the elderly in the community, and about 3% stay in elderly care institutions. Strengthening community pension and institutional pension will help to partially alleviate family pressure. In addition, the long-term care insurance system should be planned and studied as soon as possible, and the foundation for creating an age-friendly healthy aging environment should be consolidated in combination with various forms such as social long-term care insurance and commercial long-term care insurance. Carry forward the traditional social fashion of respecting and providing for the elderly, and promote the construction of age-friendly families. As the saying goes, "an old family is like a treasure". The elderly have rich social experience and life experience, which is invaluable wealth that can be passed on to future generations. Therefore, we should advocate mutual respect, mutual understanding and mutual care between generations, melt the gap between generations, create a positive and effective intergenerational communication model, and implement the creation of an age-friendly social environment at the family level. The busy pace of work in the city makes many young people unable to take care of the elderly. A more feasible model is for pension institutions to enter the community and take care of the elderly instead of their children at home. Children can visit the elderly at any time, so as to build a harmonious family relationship in the "distance of a bowl of soup". (Xinhua News Agency)
