The meeting proposed to severely punish the illegal crimes of pension fraud in accordance with the law, extend the governance of fraud related chaos that infringes on the legitimate rights and interests of the elderly, and create a good social environment for the majority of the elderly to enjoy a happy old age. From the three aspects of adhering to publicity and education, cracking down according to law, and rectification and standardization, the meeting stressed the need to carry out key rectification against the chaos of the elderly, such as fraudulent apps, illegal elderly care service institutions, false publicity of commercial housing, elderly related tourism projects and art business, unauthorized diagnosis and treatment by unqualified medical institutions, elderly related health care products, and illegal fund-raising, and strengthen the hierarchical and classified disposal to ensure that the rectification is in place. Since the launch of the special action, the State Administration of market supervision has attached great importance to it, established a special working class, formulated and issued the action plan for the State Administration of market supervision to implement the general plan of the national special action to combat and rectify pension fraud, the work plan for the special action to combat and rectify pension fraud by the market supervision system, and the publicity work plan for the special action to combat and rectify pension fraud by the market supervision system. In order to promote the normalization of the rectification of problems in the field of old-age food and health products, the State Administration of market supervision will also crack down on the rectification of elderly care fraud, which will be organically combined with the ongoing "iron fist" action to investigate and deal with cases in the field of people's livelihood, the special law enforcement action against unfair competition in 2022, and the "bottom line, hidden dangers and safety" action in the field of food. In addition, the law enforcement inspection bureau of the State Administration of market supervision has established a regular reporting system for accepting clues, strengthened the responsibility of territorial verification and disposal by means of Listing Supervision and case guidance, and carried out three special supervision on the clues of false and illegal advertising cases of "miracle doctors" and "miracle drugs" found in the monitoring, which has played a "baton" role in effectively cracking down on and rectifying fraud involving the elderly in all regions.

Improve the social support system with the improvement of social living standards in China, the elderly also have more needs and expectations for the elderly care industry, such as medical care, insurance, health food and so on. It is in this context that some unscrupulous elements who are obsessed with profit also see the huge "business opportunities" and try to take advantage of it to deceive the elderly. According to Liujunhai, a professor at the school of law of Renmin University of China, the current phenomenon of "pension fraud" is born in all kinds of chaos for the elderly, such as fraudulent apps, illegal pension service institutions, illegal insurance institutions "acting as insurance agents", elderly related tourism projects and art operations, unauthorized diagnosis and treatment by unqualified medical institutions, elderly related health care products, and illegal fund-raising. These illegal and criminal activities intersect with normal social life, which makes it difficult to identify. Liu Junhai believes that the reason why the phenomenon of "pension fraud" occurs frequently and succeeds repeatedly includes the following three reasons: first, the supply of social services required for pension in China is insufficient and the quality is not high, which can not meet the diversified pension needs of the elderly such as financial management and health preservation. Secondly, the elderly are "lack of love" and "less love", and their children have less company and communication. In particular, the elderly living alone need more social care. Third, the social support system suitable for aging is not perfect, and there is a lack of formal services for the elderly in terms of medical treatment, care, psychology and so on. "Outlaws or bad enterprises target the elderly groups for fraud. Most of these elderly groups live alone, do not know much about finance and investment knowledge, and are difficult to identify various forms of illegal fund-raising. They have a weak awareness of illegal fund-raising and a desire for petty gains, and commit crimes." Liu Junhai said. Liu Junhai suggested that the elderly should be vigilant about investment projects that can obtain high returns in a short time, inform their adult children of the situation in time, or consult relevant government authorities to ensure that they do not easily sign contracts involving major property changes and strengthen their risk awareness. Gaoqinwei, a professor at the Law School of the Central University of Finance and economics, pointed out that although the market prospect of the elderly care service industry is promising, the relevant supporting system still needs to be established, especially the government supervision mode should be improved as soon as possible. For example, some pension service institutions charge high deposits or membership fees on the premise of providing pension service commitments. This is a commercial credit sale, or is it suspected of illegal fund-raising. How can such business activities be included in the scope of financial supervision? These problems need to be carefully identified and discussed, because the above-mentioned behavior itself has great risks. How to supervise and ensure the safety of funds is a major issue before the current government functional departments. In addition, at present, the development of China's pension industry is still in the initial stage, the relevant policies and regulations are not perfect, the degree of specialization of pension institutions and service personnel is low, and the types and contents of pension products are relatively scarce, which can not meet the growing demand for pension. Relevant functional departments of the state should actively guide and promote the standardized development of the pension industry, establish a legal environment for the opening of the pension industry market, establish the legislative content of financing support and financial support, and determine the legal policies for the overall planning of pension and social welfare, so as to create a good legal environment for the development of the pension industry.
