我国人口老龄化带来的挑战及对策

The Challenges and Strategies of Chinese Aging Population

老龄化问题是全球性的社会问题,是21世纪人类社会面临的共同挑战。它是指老年人口占总人口的比重不断增加,并且达到一定比例的一种动态变化过程。从2000年人口普查的结果来看,我国60岁及以上人口占总人口的10.3%,65岁及以上人口占总人口的6.96%。这表明,2000年既是新世纪的开端,也是我国老龄化社会的起点。老龄化一方面表明我国经济增长、社会稳定、医疗进步,另一方面也给我国社会的进一步发展带来了巨大压力和挑战。所以必须转变观念正确认识老龄化问题,加快经济发展,实施积极老龄化战略,让老年人老有所养、老有所用。
