Regarding the major issue of elderly care! The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council have issued opinions for the first time.
On January 7, the "Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Deepening the Reform and Development of Elderly Care Services" was released. This is the first time that our country has issued opinions on elderly care services in the name of the Central Committee and the State Council.
The opinions propose goals and paths from aspects such as the elderly care service network and service forms, better ensuring that nearly 300 million elderly people can enjoy a happy old age. This is a major and important matter related to social harmony and stability, as well as the overall development of the country.
The "goals" of the opinions are clear—
By 2029, the elderly care service network will be basically established; by 2035, the elderly care service network will be more complete, and all elderly people will enjoy basic elderly care services.
The "paths" of the opinions are clear—
From improving the elderly care service facilities in villages (communities) to consolidating the foundational role of home-based elderly care, from accelerating the filling of gaps in rural elderly care services to strengthening the construction of the elderly care service talent team... the opinions propose more than ten "practical" measures, demonstrating foresight, systematicness, and comprehensiveness.
It can be said that with this opinion, there is a clear "task book" and "roadmap" for promoting the maturity and shaping of an elderly care service system suitable for our national conditions.
What is new in the opinions?
The opinions clearly answer for the first time what an elderly care service system suitable for our national conditions is—
A hierarchical, classified, inclusive, accessible, urban-rural covering, and sustainable elderly care service system.
The opinions propose for the first time to accelerate the establishment of a three-level elderly care service network covering urban and rural areas—
The county-level comprehensive elderly care service management platform plays a demonstrative and guiding role, the township (street) regional elderly care service center plays a hub role, and the village (community) elderly care service facilities play an advantage close to the elderly, with the entire county (district) range of elderly facilities connected into a network, making services more convenient and accessible.
The opinions propose for the first time the classification reform of elderly care institutions—
The opinions clearly classify elderly care institutions into basic security type, inclusive support type, and fully market type, promoting the formation of a service pattern where basic security is guaranteed, essential needs are served, inclusiveness is supplied, and the market offers choices.
How to implement the opinions?
The opinions clarify the responsibilities and positioning of three main entities—government, market, and society—in deepening the reform and development of elderly care services—
The government should play a leading role, strengthen planning guidance, policy support, organizational guarantees, and supervision management of elderly care services, and expand the supply of inclusive, foundational, and basic elderly care services.
The market should play a role in resource allocation, fully stimulate market vitality, support various market entities to actively participate in elderly care services according to market principles, improve the social operation mechanism and support policy implementation evaluation mechanism, and promote the scale, clustering, and branding development of the elderly care service industry.
Society should play a participatory role, strengthen the function of social mutual assistance, and build a social support elderly care service pattern led by grassroots party organizations, coordinated by grassroots mass autonomous organizations, and involving social organizations, social workers, volunteers, and other forces.
With the implementation of these opinions, more "happy umbrellas" will be provided for the elderly to enjoy their later years.
