If you care about the health of the elderly

The first article: "Care for the Elderly, Health Tips"

Aging is something that everyone must face. How can we delay aging and how can we prevent diseases of all sizes? Don't patronize the elderly and maintain a healthy body? Three secrets to keep a youthful attitude in old age

One: Optimism and cheerful attitude

As the saying goes: Smile and you will be young in ten years. An optimistic and cheerful heart is the secret weapon of youth. In addition to optimism, one thing they also possess is a peaceful and peaceful heart. You can pick it up and put it down, and you can be at ease when encountering problems without being too affected. The so-called tranquility, tranquility, and optimism are a kind of happiness, and this is the truth.

Two: Reasonable weight control

Weight is also a key to the health of the elderly. Many elderly people still maintain their youthful vitality despite their advanced age, and maintaining a normal weight is also a secret. The body is too fat and not too thin. If you are too fat, you will get various diseases. How can you talk about vitality when you are sick all day long? If you are too thin, you will be weak and often sick, and you will lose vitality.

Three: Pay attention to appearance

Learning to dress yourself up will not only lead to spiritual satisfaction and the envy of others, but it will also be of great benefit to your body. As people get older, their skin naturally ages faster. When an elderly person dresses up, he will first pay attention to his own skin. Keeping your skin moisturized is the first step. Secondly, they will pay attention to their clothing and buy some more fashionable clothes, which are signs of youth. The more beautiful they look, the happier they feel, and they naturally feel much younger.

Eight major dietary points to prevent diseases from affecting the elderly

1. Appropriately reduce staple foods and combine thick and thin foods. Frugal elderly people are accustomed to a lifestyle of eating more and less vegetables. However, for weight control, they should appropriately reduce staple foods, increase more vegetables, beans and products, and appropriately increase lean animal meat and fish, which will Make nutrition more balanced. When choosing staple food, don’t think that you should eat white rice and white steamed buns instead of multigrain potatoes.

2. Appropriately increase high-quality protein to make up for the protein lost in the "negative nitrogen balance" of the elderly. Sources of high-quality protein include milk, soy products, lean animal meat, eggs, etc. These foods are eaten regularly. If you feel uncomfortable after drinking milk, you can switch to yogurt, which is not only good for intestinal health, but also rich in calcium.

3. A handful of nuts every day. Nuts are really a good thing. They are an important source of essential fatty acids and vitamin E. They are also rich in B vitamins, iron, calcium, magnesium, zinc, manganese and other essential minerals, which are good for preventing various chronic diseases. It's very helpful, but don't eat too much, as the high fat content is difficult to digest.

4. Eat enough vegetables and limited amounts of fruits. Vegetables and fruits provide dietary fiber, various vitamins and minerals, as well as healthy antioxidant ingredients, which can delay human aging. Therefore, make sure to eat 1 pound of vegetables every day, and you must eat fungi and green leafy vegetables. Since fruits contain too much sugar, it is recommended that 200g per day is enough, which is equivalent to a medium-sized apple.

5. Eat less stir-fried vegetables and more light and low-salt dishes such as mixed vegetables, stews and steamed vegetables. The cooking method of stir-frying not only increases the intake of fat and salt, which is not conducive to blood pressure and weight control, but also the lipid oxidation produced by high-temperature cooking of cooking oil can easily block blood vessels and increase the risk of various chronic diseases. Age spots on the limbs of the elderly are Result of lipid oxidation.

6. Don’t always use one kind of cooking oil. Use various oils instead, preferably olive oil and tea tree oil. If possible, you can buy some linseed oil and flax oil for your parents. They are Omega 3 - an important source of essential fatty acids. Omega 3 - essential fatty acids are very helpful in regulating human blood pressure, blood lipids, and enhancing the body's immune function. Note that they are afraid of high temperatures, so they are best used when making soups, stuffings, or cold dishes.

7. Do not be superstitious about health products, especially protein powder, soybeans and flavonoids, deep-sea fish oil and other health products that are meaningless to ordinary people. If conditions permit, parents can choose multivitamin and mineral supplements produced by some reliable manufacturers, because when caloric intake is restricted, it is difficult to meet these trace elements from the elderly's three meals. For the elderly who have already developed osteoporosis, calcium tablets must be taken, so be careful to choose a reliable brand.

8. The dining atmosphere is also very important. If you live in a city, eat with your parents as much as possible, at least on weekends. In this way, they can eat a more diverse diet and be in the company of their children.

Their mood will be much better, and a good mood is helpful for the absorption of nutrients in food. The best filial piety is actually companionship, and this trick is more powerful than any supplement.

Of course, in addition to these dietary precautions, it is best to add regular exercise. Even taking a walk in the park every morning and evening is much better than sitting and watching TV. When some people get old, they are most afraid of being alone and feeling useless, so we just make a phone call when nothing happens. Even if it is just to act coquettishly, it really doesn’t take up much time, it just depends on whether you are willing to do it or not! The second article: "Caring for the elderly means caring about your future self"

Nowadays, many elderly people like to listen to health lectures, especially those who support health like Aunt Wang. After retirement, they focus on maintaining health. , dance, every time I encounter such a lecture, it is an unforgettable experience. Not only did you attend the lecture for free, but you could also receive small gifts. When you arrived at the venue, you listened very attentively to the so-called "experts"'s lectures. Aunt Wang, who was wearing reading glasses, kept recording the "experts'" linguistic theory in a small book. In fact, these people just tell some fictitious cases at the beginning to "scare" the uncles and aunts psychologically, and then focus on promoting their "miraculous" health care products, such as talking about someone's misery caused by high blood pressure and diabetes. At the end, he said that eating more celery can prevent high blood pressure and diabetes. However, considering that the uncle and aunt eat celery every meal, their faces will turn green, so I specially prepared compressed apigenin, one tablet is worth five tablets.

It is surprising that such an obvious scam can succeed so many times. In fact, the truth is very simple. In this busy society, young people are busy with their own careers and have no time to care about the health of the elderly. It is very likely that their physical fitness is not as good as that of the elderly. In addition, they do not know the relevant authoritative medical services. People cannot learn health knowledge from the chaotic Internet. In the end, they can only pay some "wasted money" to buy the elderly a comfortable life.

Just like this, as my country accelerates its entry into an aging society, services such as Anxin Accompanying Clinic (the registered service trademark name of Beijing Accompanying Medical Doctor Technology Co., Ltd.) have emerged as the times require, solving the problem for the elderly. The need to be healthy but have no one to accompany you.

You can use mobile APP, WeChat, hotline, etc. to allow patients to choose the most convenient way to place orders, and provide offline hospital queue registration, pre-diagnosis reminders, medical escorts, and appointment examinations. Accompanying and guiding the whole process, such as picking up and delivering reports, and providing caring services such as consultation and follow-up registration for patients through customer service staff, shortening the time for patients to seek medical treatment, improving medical efficiency, achieving the effect of improving the medical experience of patients and their families, and achieving a win-win situation for patients and hospitals. The harmonious situation has contributed to improving the doctor-patient relationship and assumed certain social responsibilities. It hopes to become a service supplement in this social environment and help young and middle-aged families reduce the pressure of medical treatment. And the whole process is accompanied by nurses working in tertiary hospitals. They can not only answer common health questions, but also accompany the elderly from a professional perspective, chat with them, talk to them, and popularize health knowledge, so that they will not waste money. , both physically and psychologically. Just like the slogan of Anxin Accompanying Clinic - caring for the elderly means caring for your future self. Part Three: "Topics Concerned by the Elderly" Words of Care for the Physical Health of the Elderly

The issue of the elderly is a major issue of widespread concern around the world. In 1999, it was designated by the United Nations as the "International Year of the Elderly", which symbolizes As the international community pays attention to social aging and the various social problems caused by it, aging issues have gradually become a hot spot in social issue research. According to United Nations statistics, the world's elderly population aged 60 and above was approximately 550 million in 1999, and is expected to reach 600 million by 2000, and will account for 1/3 of the total population in 2050.

Our country has the largest elderly population in the world. In 1999, the elderly population reached 126 million, accounting for 10% of the total population. China has entered the ranks of elderly countries ahead of schedule and is growing at an annual rate of 3.2%. By 2000, China's elderly population will reach 132 million, and is expected to reach about 400 million in 2050, accounting for 1/4 of the world's elderly population.

It only took 15 years for my country's population structure to transform from adult to elderly. Its aging rate is the fastest in the world. Based on the characteristics of Wenzhou's social, economic, and population development, and combined with Wenzhou's actual situation, this article conducts a brief analysis of Wenzhou's aging situation and the development trends and countermeasures of aging undertakings.

1. Overview of the current situation of population aging in Wenzhou and the development of aging undertakings

According to statistics from the Wenzhou Municipal Committee on Aging, Wenzhou became an elderly city in 1995. By 1999, Wenzhou’s elderly population Reaching 798,000, accounting for 11.08% of the total population, the annual growth rate is approximately 2.3%. The 21st century will be a period of rapid development of Wenzhou's population aging. How to use effective and balanced means to solve the aging problem and enable it to develop stably and healthily has great social and historical significance. Wenzhou's economic development level is higher than that of other inland areas in the country. Generally speaking, Wenzhou's aging process is faster than that of the country. This is closely related to the economy, culture, lifestyle and fertility views under the Wenzhou model. A comprehensive review of the current situation of population aging in Wenzhou and the investigation of the development of aging services can be summarized as follows:

(1) The contradiction between "the elderly having medical care" is prominent, and medical expenses have become the topic of greatest concern to the elderly.

As the age of the elderly continues to increase, various functions of the human body naturally decline, and diseases and disabilities are also accompanied. The needs of the elderly in terms of medical care also increase, which is irresistible. laws of life. In Wenzhou, the problem of "getting medical care for the elderly" is more prominent than other problems of aging. According to survey results, the pensions of some retirees are not enough to cover their medical expenses. Among the 200 elderly people interviewed for the survey, 3.5% reported that their medical expenses exceeded the sum of their pension and living expenses. It can be seen that medical expenses have become a sensitive topic in Wenzhou's elderly society. When it comes to the reimbursement of medical expenses, 45.8% of the elderly have no way to reimburse their medical expenses; 54.2% of the elderly are reimbursed by their original workplace, and the reimbursement range is generally between 30% and 50%. In rural areas, the medical expenses of the elderly are mainly borne by the children of the family. This is a hidden threat that threatens the stability and prosperity of a family at all times, casting a shadow over people who want to get rid of poverty and become rich. People may become poor due to illness or return to poverty due to illness at any time. With the government's reform of the social security system and the introduction of new social security measures and new regulations on medical expenses, we are sure that the situation will change!

(2) The overall level of the "Old People's Development" project is relatively low, and it still needs support from relevant government departments and all walks of life.

As a special group, the elderly mean aging and fragility in terms of their natural attributes, and experience and wisdom in terms of their social attributes. The elderly are not a burden to society, but a valuable asset to society. Encouraging, guiding and supporting the elderly to exert their residual energy is of great significance to the construction of socialist material civilization and spiritual civilization. Especially for a region like Wenzhou that is at the forefront of reform, it is of great significance to strengthen the support of the government and enterprises and institutions in the aspect of "doing something for the elderly". However, the relatively low comprehensive quality of the elderly in Wenzhou has hindered the development of "career for the elderly".

Therefore, in order to give full play to the elderly's ability to "do something in their old age", in addition to improving the overall quality of the elderly, we also need the support of relevant government departments and all walks of life.

(3) The foundation of "enjoyment for the elderly" work is weak and is not coordinated with Wenzhou's economic development.

The requirement of "Enjoyment for the Elderly" for society is to create and provide more healthy places and facilities for the elderly to study, live and entertain. Since the elderly are limited by age and physical conditions, the main characteristics of cultural and entertainment activities for the elderly are: a combination of exercise and entertainment, low requirements for material conditions such as venues and funds, and activities that are mainly mass and popular, and are more casual. powerful. Wenzhou currently has 271 nursing homes for the elderly③, 284 apartments for the elderly, and 4,238 elderly activity centers. Most of them are collective in nature, and the facilities are relatively simple. Except for basic hardware such as tables, chairs, TVs, and activity equipment, there are no other supporting software facilities; The activity and entertainment environment is poor and far from meeting the activities and entertainment needs of the elderly. In particular, it cannot satisfy the "one center and two basic points" of the elderly, that is, "one center" refers to health as the center, and "two basic points" means that the living arrangement should be more chic and unrestrained. You have to be a little confused when dealing with people.

(4) "Learning when you are old" has begun to take shape, and its development prospects are promising.

As the saying goes: "Live and learn." Elderly education is an important part of national education. It is not a quality education, but a social and cultural education that combines "maintenance and happiness" with "enterprising and promising". University for the elderly is a new thing that emerged after the reform and opening up. On the road to achieving healthy aging, geriatric education plays a very important role. Facts have proven that as long as the brain is constantly fed with new information, it will prolong brain aging, enhance brain function, and maintain physical health.

Wenzhou currently has 155 schools for the elderly and 11 universities for the elderly. "Wenzhou University for the Elderly" was founded in September 1987. It adheres to the educational purpose of "learning for the elderly, cultivating sentiments, prolonging life, and generating brilliance through residual heat". It combines the characteristics of the elderly and implements the three characteristics (intellectual, practical, and interesting). Based on the teaching methods of "no naming, no questioning, and no examination", 16 majors have been opened in five categories: politics, health care, literature and history, art, and comprehensive. Since its establishment, Wenzhou University for the Elderly has achieved fruitful results, not only cultivating sentiments and improving health, but also improving skills to continue serving society. Since its establishment, Wenzhou University for the Elderly has graduated more than 2,300 students and currently has more than 460 students. Its establishment not only enables the elderly to increase their knowledge, cultivate their sentiments, promote health and serve the society, but also establishes the spiritual outlook of the elderly in Wenzhou and promotes the construction of spiritual civilization in Wenzhou.

(5) The issue of "provision for the elderly" is prominent and requires the concern of the whole society.

Our country is a country with a fine tradition of respecting the elderly and caring for the young. Supporting the elderly has long been the main responsibility of the family. "Family care culture was born in the era of small-scale peasant economy. It was adapted to the productivity and production relations at that time. It was also consistent with China's feudal unified autocratic regime. The philosophical thought with Confucianism as the main body originated from the patriarchal concept of blood. *** Same Constructing the core of traditional culture." With the development of the times and the progress of society, especially the deepening of reform and opening up and the acceleration of population migration, the family care culture has gradually declined. Due to the development of the market economy and the activity of the commodity economy, as well as the accelerated pace of life, families have become smaller and the family's elderly care function has been weakened. Especially in rural areas and other economically backward places, the situation is similar to that in inland areas such as Ningxia and Qinghai, with lagging behind. In rural areas, children and their families do bear important responsibilities for providing for the elderly. Especially when the elderly are injured or lose their ability to work, the family is their only sustenance. However, in cities and towns, because the level of economic development is higher than that in rural areas and the pace of life is faster than in rural areas, children's care for the elderly in all aspects is greatly reduced. Some children only visit occasionally during the Chinese New Year and holidays or simply pay someone to take care of their parents' food and daily life. From this point of view, in order to reposition the family's elderly care function, in addition to providing material care, caregivers should also increase investment in spiritual care to achieve both material and spiritual insurance. At the same time, the development of socialized elderly care also requires the elderly to downplay their dependence on their children.

2. Countermeasures for the development of Wenzhou’s aging undertakings

What countermeasures should be taken to deal with the problems caused by Wenzhou’s aging population? The author believes that it will be discussed from the following aspects.

1. We should fully understand the aging of the population and prepare for the arrival of the peak of population aging.

First of all, publicity work should be done to raise the public’s awareness of population aging and make people realize that population aging is a symbol of economic development and social progress, and is an insurmountable stage in Wenzhou’s population development. Vigorously publicize the current situation, characteristics and development trends of Wenzhou's aging population; clarify what consequences the aging population will bring to social and economic development and every household; publicize the strategic significance and necessity of aging work, and remind us that every Each member of society understands the social responsibilities they will face in the future and is fully prepared ideologically and conceptually. Secondly, through various channels, the whole people should be guided to correctly understand that the elderly are not "social burdens" and that the elderly have rich intelligence and experience. Effective aging work is conducive to maintaining social stability and development and promoting the construction of socialist spiritual civilization; it is conducive to rationally allocating Wenzhou's limited social resources to the cause of aging; it is conducive to giving full play to their intellectual resource advantages, Make further contributions to social development.

2. Carry forward the traditional virtue of supporting the elderly and establish an elderly care security system that is based on society and supplemented by family and self-support.

The Wenzhou Municipal People's Government promulgated and implemented the "Implementation Measures for the Establishment of a Unified Basic Pension Insurance System for Enterprise Employees in Wenzhou City" in May 1999. The implementation of this system has realized the "three unifications" of the basic pension insurance for enterprise employees. , that is, unify the reform standards, unify the scale of personal accounts, and unify the accounting and payment methods. The employee pension insurance system is improving day by day. However, due to the particularity of Wenzhou's regional economic development, a comprehensive social pension security system that meets the needs of aging development should be established, from a simple form of family pension to the simultaneous development of society, family pension and self-support. "

The disadvantage of the social pension model is that the traditional family affection is weakened. The advantage is that the quality of pension depends on the level of social development. The biggest problem of family pension is that the quality of pension mainly depends on the relationship between the elderly and their children. relationship," and the advantage of the self-supporting method is that it reduces the burden on the government. The three complement each other, promote each other, and develop in a coordinated manner. In the long run, due to changes in the population structure and Wenzhou's social and economic development, the socialized elderly care model will increasingly occupy an important position. With the acceleration of Wenzhou's urbanization process and the development of market economy, people's lifestyles and concepts of survival as well as family structures have undergone major changes, and the family's elderly care function has weakened. What we advocate is to establish a pension security system that is based on society and supplemented by family and self-support on the premise of carrying forward and inheriting the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation, so as to achieve the goal of society, family and individuals each taking responsibility and fulfilling their duties. Purpose.

3. It is recommended to implement a flexible retirement system, strengthen investigation and research, and establish and improve the policy and legal system for aging work.

The implementation of a flexible retirement system will relatively slow down the speed of population aging. It should be more flexible for urban employees in terms of retirement, especially for those cadres and professionals with outstanding work achievements who can continue to work after the retirement age. For the elderly who continue to work for a few years, the retirement age should be relaxed to a certain extent to allow them to continue working. This not only allows them to continue to contribute to the country, but also increases their income. The current retirement age in our country is 60 years old for men and 55 years old for women. In some industries, it is even earlier. Some elderly people who have just stepped down from their jobs have good physical strength, knowledge and experience. Making full use of and tapping their talents and labor resources can promote the economic and social development of Wenzhou to a certain extent.

The problems caused by the aging of the population involve all aspects of society, economy, culture, law, etc., which require in-depth research, continuous summary, and learning from foreign successful experiences to gradually improve various policies. Party committees, governments and aging work departments at all levels should regard basic theoretical research on aging and investigation and research of major issues in aging work as a major matter. It is necessary to mobilize the enthusiasm of departments at all levels and all walks of life, go deep into reality, investigate and study, and formulate aging policies and corresponding laws and regulations that are in line with Wenzhou's actual situation, so as to safeguard the healthy development of Wenzhou's aging cause.

4. Develop human resources for the elderly, strengthen education for the elderly, improve the self-protection capabilities of the elderly, and create a community culture suitable for the elderly.

The old age can be divided into early old age and late old age. In the early old age, the elderly still have a certain amount of energy and production capacity and can create a certain amount of wealth. Actively develop and utilize these abilities of the elderly so that the elderly can change from supporting to self-supporting, turn part of the consumer population into a productive population, improve the quality of life of the elderly population, and enhance the ability of the elderly to protect themselves. Therefore, actively develop the abilities of the elderly. Resources are an important response. For example: promote effective agricultural technology and make agriculture technological; encourage the elderly to organize their own production and supplement their income to improve the self-support ability of the elderly; establish employment introduction agencies for the elderly to provide re-employment services for the elderly so that they can Can better utilize the "waste heat" to continue to contribute to society. Of course, it is an objective fact that the aging population joining the labor market has sharpened the contradiction between labor supply and demand, but this is a manifestation of historical progress and the trend of social development. Especially those old scientific and technological workers, they are a very precious asset to the country, and tapping the potential of this talent resource will be of great significance. Under the conditions of the socialist market economy, formulating relevant policies and regulations to determine the rights and interests of veteran scientific and technological workers will better play the important role of veteran scientific and technological workers. Therefore, Wenzhou's veteran scientific and technological workers can rely on their professional knowledge and work experience to establish social-oriented consultation stations, scientific research and technology development departments, establish economic entities, engage in light-physical planting and breeding research, etc., and contribute to Wenzhou's local economic development. Make another contribution.

Furthermore, the development of the western region requires a large amount of human resources. If veteran scientific and technological workers are willing and their physical conditions permit, they can also support the western region and participate in the development of the western region.

The basic goal of solving the aging problem in our country is to achieve "the old age has some support, the old age has medical care, the old age has something to do, the old age has fun, the old age has something to learn, and the old age has something to teach". In Wenzhou, achieving these goals requires, in addition to social security maintenance, the efforts and practices of the elderly themselves. It is necessary to actively carry out ideological, cultural and legal education for the elderly, and organize and guide the elderly to participate in various scientific and healthy cultural and sports activities and other social activities. Only by improving the self-care level of the elderly and giving full play to their enthusiasm and initiative can work on the elderly achieve maximum social benefits.

Create a community culture suitable for the elderly, so that the elderly can "do something in their old age" and "have fun in old age". As far as the current community culture in Wenzhou is concerned, cultural forms and cultural venues suitable for the elderly are very limited. In addition to listening to Wenzhou drum lyrics, watching operas, dancing, boxing, chess, and cards, there are few other organized activities for the elderly. To develop and enrich the community culture of the elderly in Wenzhou, it is necessary to meet the cultural and entertainment needs of the elderly from various aspects and channels. Establish more senior universities, senior clubs, and senior sororities. In the process of community construction, we should consider leaving more activity venues for the gradually increasing number of seniors. China's social security system is centered on social insurance. However, from the perspective of sustainable development, the guarantee system with high coverage and full coverage will be difficult to sustain as the population ages in the next few decades. However, the community service system and social assistance The system is not only effective in the short term, but also has great development potential.

5. Strengthen the management system of aging work and strengthen the construction of cadres to ensure the healthy development of aging work.

To promote the development of the cause of aging across the century, an effective work system and a team of truth-seeking and pragmatic cadres should be established. In accordance with the requirements for building a team of high-quality cadres, public examinations or recruitment are used to select young cadres with high political and professional qualities, strong ambitions and strong ambitions to join the aging work force to meet the needs of the aging population and promote the development of the cause of aging. . However, the aging management team is too small and does not adapt to the level of economic development. Under the new situation, it is necessary to appropriately increase the number of aging staff, expand the aging workforce and establish a supporting supervision system to ensure the healthy development of aging work.

6. Establish a non-profit elderly welfare hospital, stipulate medical expenses and medical expenses for the elderly, and ensure that "the elderly have medical care."

There are specialized children’s hospitals, military hospitals and many large comprehensive hospitals in Wenzhou, but there are no specialized hospitals for the elderly. This is inconsistent with Wenzhou’s relatively developed economy. Develop health care to extend the life of the elderly and provide them with regular physical examinations to keep them physically and mentally healthy. The establishment of a modern non-profit elderly welfare hospital is undoubtedly a beautiful "sunset red" landscape and an important point in the construction of Wenzhou's spiritual civilization.

7. Increase investment in the cause of the elderly and use market-oriented and social operating mechanisms to vigorously develop the cause of the elderly.

The aging industry is an indispensable part of the socialist market economy and an inevitable requirement for the development of the market economy. The cause of aging should be effectively included in Wenzhou's long-term social and economic development plans, and care should be taken in terms of investment in human, financial and material resources. People from all walks of life and people of insight come to pay attention to the issue of aging, participate in the cause of aging, and offer ideas and suggestions. There are elderly people in every family, and everyone will grow old. Paying attention to the cause of the elderly means caring about ourselves. Let us act together to promote the development of the cause of the elderly in Wenzhou!

Under the conditions of commodity economy, equality and efficiency have a conflicting substitution relationship to a certain extent. This means that the pursuit of more equality requires a certain reduction in efficiency, and that in order to obtain higher efficiency, a certain degree of equality must be sacrificed. In this substitution relationship, social security can play a mediating role, because social security and welfare are important forms of national income redistribution. The higher the level of social security, the higher the degree of redistribution. The income distribution of social members Levels tend to be more equal. On the contrary, it will affect or even impact social stability. Therefore, the elderly care industry should also follow the principles of market economy and use appropriate economic means so that the investment in security costs can produce returns no less than those of other funds, including economic and social benefits, at least without depreciation due to rising prices.

Under the guidance of the government's macro-control, we will give full play to the excellent qualities of Wenzhou people who dare to be the first in the world, bring the elderly care industry to the market, introduce market mechanisms, and make the elderly care industry an independent legal entity, separated from the operations of enterprises and collectives. , the society will be responsible for unified management, strict cost budgets, open service prices of nursing homes, reduce waste of funds, thereby forming an orderly, equal and competitive industry, gradually improving the pension security system, and transforming potential social needs For effective social needs to adapt to Wenzhou's economic development level.

Currently, Wenzhou’s industrial structure is in a historical period of major adjustment. Without establishing a complete social security system, it will be impossible to achieve innovation in the enterprise system, adjust the industrial structure smoothly, and maintain social stability. . The social pension security system is an important part of the social security system. Its development and improvement will beneficially promote Wenzhou's economic development and social stability, and will also help Wenzhou's economy achieve a second historic leap. The theme of the International Year of Older Persons in 1999 is "Building a society where everyone can enjoy life, regardless of age." If a society enables the rights and protection of the elderly to be reflected, the value of the elderly to be confirmed, and the role of the elderly to be affirmed, then this society will develop smoothly in a healthy and civilized way!
