中国已处于老龄化社会,对养老服务需求巨大。2015年全国60岁及以上老人达到2.2亿,占总人口16.1%。养老服务质量关系2亿多老年人口,特别是4000多万失能半失能老年人的晚年幸福。然而,与日益增长的养老服务需求相比,中国养老服务供给总量和质量依然严重不足,城乡公共设施不适合问题突出,老年产品生产和供应落后等问题普遍存在。

养老服务业既是涉及亿万群众福祉的民生事业,也是具有巨大发展潜力的朝阳产业。去年底,中国国务院印发了《关于全面放开养老服务市场提升养老服务质量的若干意见》,提出:养老向居家社区服务倾斜,向农村倾斜,向失能、半失能老年人倾斜。进一步扩大护理型服务资源,大力培育发展小型化、连锁化、专业化服务机构。

针对当前存在的养老服务短板,《意见》还提出,在居家社区养老服务方面,将加快建设社区综合服务信息平台,提供助餐、助洁、助行、助浴、助医等上门服务。鼓励建设小型社区养老院,满足老年人就近养老需求。

China accelerates reform to boost senior service industry

By Li Ning from People’s Daily

By further streamlining administration and delegating power, strengthening supervision and improving the service level, China will mobilize social forces to participate in the development of elderly care industry, lower the institutional cost for entrepreneurship and create a fair development environment, according to a policy paper released by relevant Chinese authorities recently.

 

The Notice on Accelerating the Reform on the Entry, Supervision and Service Level of the Senior Service Industry was released by thirteen departments, including Ministry of Civil Affairs, National Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Public Security, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Land and Resources and National Elderly Work Committee Office.

 

Now entering into an aging society, China has huge demands for the elderly nursing industry. In 2015, the number of senior aged over 60 in China reached 220 million, accounting for 16.1 percent of the total population.

 

The quality of the industry concerns over 200 million senior citizens, especially the over 40 million incapacitated or semi- incapacitated elderly.

 

However, the sheer quantity and quality of China’s senior service supply still fall short of the increasing demand for the industry. China is now still headache with inaccessibility of urban and rural public facilities, as well as insufficient supply of senior products.

 

Other than a livelihood project involving the welfare of billions of people, the senior service industry is also a rising business with great potential.

 

At the end of last year, the Chinese State Council released a guideline on widening the access of the senior service market and improving the quality of senior service, requiring the service to orient towards community, rural areas as well as incapacitated and semi-incapacitated senior citizens.

 

Nursing care resources should be further expanded and the development of small-sized and professional chain service agencies should be vigorously supported, read the guideline.

 

To address the short boards in senior service, the guideline also pointed out that for community senior service, China will speed up the construction of a comprehensive service information platform and provide such home service as meal assistance, cleaning assistance, walking aid, bathing assistance and medical assistance.

 

Small-sized community nursing homes are encouraged to meet the needs of senior citizens within close proximity as well.
