我国老年人赡养保障立法问题研究

Research on China’s Guarantee Legislation on Supporting the Aged

我国已步入老年型国家的行列,老年人赡养法律保障正面临新挑战。而目前有关老年人赡养保障的法律规定还存在着赡养模式规定单一、义务主体涵盖范围不完整、精神赡养规定存在疏漏、法律责任比较模糊等问题。我们应以我国民法典的编纂为历史契机,通过优化养老模式、科学界定赡养义务主体的范围、明确物质赡养的最低标准或原则、完善精神赡养的内容、细化赡养义务人的法律责任和增强法律条文的强制性与可执行性等途径,进一步完善我国的老年人赡养保障法律体系,为切实维护老年人赡养权益提供法律支持。

The guarantee law on supporting the aged in China is facing a new challenge since it has become a country of aging population. Currently there are still deficiencies in this aspect, like single mode regulation, incomplete scope of subject of obligation, lack of regulation on mental support, and ambiguity of legal liability in this legislation. Therefore, we should, with the opportunity of making the Civil Code of China, further perfect our guarantee legislation system and provide legal support for the rights and interests of the aged, by optimizing the supporting mode, scientifically defining the scope of subject of obligation, determining minimum standards or principles of mental support, specifying legal liability, and strengthening the enforcement and enforceability of law.
