Expert: China’s aging department has rapidly deepened after the “10th Five-Year Plan”

China News Agency, Shanghai, May 15 (Reporter Dong Zichang) the 2017 China Family Development Forum opened in Shanghai on 15th. Zhai Zhenwu, president of the Chinese population Association, pointed out in the forum that during the “10th, 30th and 5th Five-Year Plan” period, aged trend of population in China is in a plateau period, the number of the elderly population and the proportion of the elderly population to the total population will increase steadily. The aging development will deepen rapidly after the Tenth Five-Year Plan. Zhai Zhenwu said that although the development speed of aging is not fast now, the absolute increment of the elderly is still very large, with an average annual increase of about 8 million people, which brings great challenges to Chinese families in providing for the aged. Zhai Zhenwu pointed out that with the process of aging, the average size of Chinese families has been shrinking since the new century. In 2013, it fell below 3 to 2.98 for the first time. It is expected that this trend will continue during the “10th Five-Year Plan” and the family size will continue to shrink. At the same time, the intergenerational structure of Chinese families also tends to be simplified, with the proportion of multi-generation households falling rapidly and the proportion of second-generation households and one-generation households rising sharply, it is expected that this trend will continue during the 10th Five-Year Plan period. “As the number of elderly people continues to grow, the long-term burden of old-age care for families will become heavier and heavier.” Zhai zhenwu said that the miniaturization of family size and the reduction of algebra within the family mean that there is a serious shortage of human resources within the family to take care of the elderly, and the traditional family old-age care method cannot bear the heavy responsibility of the old-age care alone; the diversity of family types leads to the increasingly discrete living style of the elderly, and the relationship with their children and grandchildren will also continue to be loose and alienated, and the traditional family pension function will be weakened obviously, more and more elderly people have to seek old-age support and services from outside their families. Talking about coping with the challenges brought by aging to family old-age care, Zhai Zhenwu believes that the supply of home old-age care services should be increased; Policies such as tax incentives and housing subsidies should be comprehensively adopted to encourage children and the elderly to live together, strengthen the function of old-age care of families themselves, prevent the further increase of the proportion of empty-nest and solitary elderly families, and reduce the old-age care risks of the whole society; Accelerate the establishment of long-term old-age care insurance system, include family members in paid carers. 1230 China News Agency, Shanghai, May 15 (Reporter Dong Zichang) the China Family Development Forum in 2017 opened in Shanghai on 15th.
