老龄化与养老服务：香港的经验与启示

Population Ageing and Elderly Services: The Experience of Hongkong

20世纪60年代以来,香港的人口老龄化趋势日益显现。受到经济治理领域传统自由放任与不干预理念的影响,香港逐步构建起了以市场化、社会化力量为主导,政府、市场、社会多元合作为特征的养老服务体系。其养老服务的政策范式总体上经历了从消极不干预到积极不干预的重要转变。香港养老服务体系构建的成功经验在一定程度上能够为我国,尤其是上海等特大城市应对人口老龄化问题,开展多层次的养老服务提供有价值的启示。

Since 1960s, in the context of success of city economy, Hongkong＇ s population aging became increasingly serious. By the influence of traditional economic ideology of free market and deregulation, Hongkong gradually constructed one kind of social and marketized elderly service system which realized the cooperation between government, market and society. Most important, there was a big transformation of the paradigm of elderly service policy of Hongkong which is from the inactive nonintervene to the positive limited intervene. Hongkong＇ s successful experiences on elderly service could deliver some important inspirations on how to deal with the problem of population aging and supply multi-level elderly services for China especially for some super big cities such as Shanghai.
