我国年龄友好环境的建设现状和发展趋势分析

The Status Quo and Developing Trends of Age-Friendly Environment Building in China

首先对年龄友好环境的内涵、特征进行了探索,指出年龄友好环境涵盖全面友好和全龄友好两个重要内涵,具有健康性、包容性和安全性三个基本特征。当前我国年龄友好环境建设在理念倡导、政策创制和实践发展上都取得了显著进展;但与快速发展的人口老龄化形势相比,仍面临整体建设滞后以及发展不均衡不充分的问题,特别是与老年人生活关系最密切的社区宜居水平亟待提高。新时代建设年龄友好型社会,加强年龄友好环境建设,需要明确以实现健康老龄化为建设目标,全力建设适老适幼的全龄友好型社区,同时要强化科技和政策的双重创新,推动年龄友好环境建设提质升级,促进老龄宜居产业健康发展。

This paper explored the connotations and characteristics of“age-friendly environments”in the very first part and pointed out that age-friendly environments,which are inclusive,safe,and are conducive to older people’s health,have comprehensive connotations and cover all age groups.China has made remarkable progress in policy making as well as practicing and advocating the concept of age-friendly environments.However,compared with the rapidly evolving population aging,the overall development in this field still lags behind and the development is unbalanced and insufficient.Especially,livable environments of communities that are most closely related to the lives of the elderly desperately need to be improved.To build an age-friendly society and enhance relevant environments in the new era,we need to work towards the goal of achieving healthy aging and develop age-friendly communities that cover all age groups.At the same time,we need to encourage technology and policy innovation,improve the quality of environments building,and promote the sound development of the industry.
