积极应对我国人口老龄化的战略思考

Proactive Strategies to Address the Issues of Population Aging in China

随着中国特色社会主义新时代社会主要矛盾的转变和人口老龄化程度的进一步加剧,人口老龄化问题也发生了明显的变化。这种变化可能会带来诸多的社会问题,对社会功能和社会管理产生一定的影响,所以要积极应对,把人口老龄化带来的负面效应控制到最小,把利好发挥到极致,取得人口老龄化正效应的最大化。在中国特色社会主义新时代人口老龄化问题日益凸显的背景下,习近平总书记曾明确指出,没有全民健康就没有全面小康,要积极应对人口老龄化,构建养老、孝老、敬老政策体系和社会环境,推进医养结合,加快老龄事业和产业发展。因此,建设养老、孝老、敬老的和谐社会,是中国特色社会主义新时代积极应对人口老龄化的社会系统工程。实施这项系统工程,必须站在决胜全面建成小康社会、从富起来向强起来迈进的历史新起点上,以解决新时代社会主要矛盾为切入点,统筹谋划,整合社会资源,调动社会力量,共同攻坚克难。

As socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a newera,the principal social contradiction facing China has been changed and the problem of population aging has been intensified,which may lead to other social problems and affect social function as well as social administration. Proactive actions should be taken to minimize the disadvantage of aging population and we should make full use of population bonus,and hence maximize the positive effect of population aging. In the National Health Congress held in August of 2016,President Xi brought up the idea of "no health,no prosperity". In the report of the 19 th National Congress of CPC,President Xi specifies the issue of population aging: as we respond proactively to population aging,we will adopt policies and foster a social environment in which senior citizens are respected,cared for,and live happily in their later years; we will provide integrated elderly care and medical services,and accelerate the development of old-age programs and industries. As a proactive response to population,it is a systematic social project to build the harmonious seniors-friendly society stipulated in President Xi's report.To implement the project,we should start with solving the principal social contradiction of the newera; plan and ordinate comprehensively,integrate social resources,activate social organizations,overcome all the obstacles,and finally realize the prosperity of the whole society and make China a powerful country.
