大力发展银发经济,助力中国式现代化--“实现银发经济高质量发展”跨学科专家笔谈

Develop the Silver Economy to Promote Chinese-style Modernization:Interdisciplinary Experts’Conversation on“Achieving High-quality Development of Silver Economy”

2024年1月《国务院办公厅关于发展银发经济增进老年人福祉的意见》印发,这是国家层面首次出台以“银发经济”为主题的专项政策,成为新时代推动银发经济发展的纲领性文件。2024年7月党的二十届三中全会强调“发展银发经济,创造适合老年人的多样化、个性化就业岗位”,为实现银发经济高质量发展指明了基础性方向。在全面建设社会主义现代化国家的新征程中,人口少子化、老龄化和区域人口增减分化等人口发展新形势相交织,发展方式转变、经济结构优化和增长动力转换等经济发展新要求相叠加,推动银发经济高质量发展成为统筹人口新形势和经济新要求的时代课题,这决定了银发经济不仅涉及人口发展领域,更涉及经济发展领域,需要从跨学科视角进行全面解读。有鉴于此,《人口与经济》特别约请我国银发经济学术、政策和实践研究领域的专家学者,就“实现银发经济高质量发展”议题展开跨学科研讨,准确把握大力发展银发经济的环境基础和资源禀赋,科学认识银发经济的概念、特点和规模,旨在以银发经济为牵引不断深化经济领域的适老化改革,及时出台助推银发经济高质量发展的产业政策,全方位更新和扩展对银发经济的认知,探寻老龄社会下实现经济可持续发展的长期性和全局性解决方案。
