我国老年立法的发展动力与模式选择

The Driving Force and Mode Selection for Legislation on Aging in China

推动我国老年立法发展的动力主要包括道德的法律化、社会法的兴起以及产业法的引入。这其中,道德的法律化属于传统动力,它在我国老年立法中虽然有一定功能,但其推动作用有限;我国已经进入老龄社会阶段,因此,我国老年立法理应归入社会法的范畴,它体现在弱势群体保护和社会政策法律化两个方面,现今我国老年立法较侧重前者,今后应对后者有所加强;发展老龄产业是我国应对人口老龄化的重要举措,制定促进老龄产业发展的法律理应提上议事日程。这三个方面如何统合,将影响我国老年立法的模式选择。老龄科学的发展则是又一动力,它将促进我国老年立法朝着科学化方向发展,并影响其模式选择。此外,国外老年立法亦可供我国老年立法借鉴。

The main driving forces for the development of legislation on aging in China include the legalization of morality,the emergence of social law and the introduction of industrial law,among which the legalization of morality is a traditional driving force.Although it plays arole in the legislation on aging in China,its promoting role is somewhat limited.China has entered an aging society,therefore its legislation on aging should be categorized into the field of social law,which includes two aspects:the protection of vulnerable groups and the legalization of social policies.China’s legislation on aging focuses more on the former,and should pay more attention to the latter in future.Development of the silver industry is a key measure to respond to population aging,so law formulation in this sphere should be put on the agenda.How to integrate the three will affect the mode selection of the legislation on agingin China.The development of the aging scienceis another driving force,which will promote the development of China’s legislation on aging in a scientific way,and influence its model selection.In addition,we can also learn from legislation on aging in other countries.
