Old people in the countryside, your old age has come to an end!
The "Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the Development of Rural Pension Services" jointly issued by 21 departments is like a shot in the arm, giving the rural pension problem an "antidote". Aging population, lack of pension resources, insufficient service facilities... A series of problems have been making rural pension like a fish in the throat. Now, the introduction of this programmatic document has undoubtedly brought a "timely rain" to the rural pension. The "Opinions" put forward a package of measures such as giving full play to the role of rural pension insurance and increasing the construction of pension service facilities, which is really eye-catching. Could it be that rural pension is going to change? Is a farmer's happy old age just around the corner?
Rural pension, a stubborn disease that has plagued rural development for many years, finally has a new prescription! 21 departments jointly issued the "Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the Development of Rural Pension Services", which pushed rural pension services to a new height. Blessed are you, old people in the countryside! I have to say that the problem of pension in our rural areas is not an ordinary thorny problem. With the outflow of a large number of young and middle-aged laborers, the rural population structure is increasingly aging. But there is no money in hand, and there is a lack of pension facilities around, so the life of many elderly people in their old age is really miserable! Coupled with the gradual decline of the traditional family pension model, the problem of rural pension has become an unsolvable dead knot.
Fortunately, now, the "Guiding Opinions" have sounded the rallying cry for rural pension services, and various policy moves have been frequently attacked, and rural pensions have been saved!
Look, the measures proposed in the "Opinions" are more powerful than the other. The first thing is to give full play to the role of rural endowment insurance. When it comes to rural pension insurance, it is not covered. Although the coverage rate is wide, the insurance rate and payment rate are not high, the level of treatment is not good, and the threshold for receiving is still high... In a word, it is difficult to look at beauty and enjoy it! This time is good, the "Opinions" require vigorous promotion of full coverage, but also pay more, pay for a long time, and there is hope for farmers' pension security! After talking about the problem of "money", let's talk about the problem of "things".
That's right, that is the construction of pension service facilities. That's a big problem! Nursing homes, day care centers and other elderly care facilities in rural areas are really weak and overstretched. Fortunately, the "Opinions" have come up with real money, and it is necessary to increase financial incentives and subsidies, give tax incentives, encourage social capital to participate, and organically combine the pension service industry with rural revitalization. Hey, there's hope now!
As the saying goes, it's not enough to have money and facilities, you have to have people!
That's right, the "Opinions" did not forget to reassure the "protagonists" of pension services. It is not only necessary to give financial incentives and subsidies and tax incentives to pension service institutions, but also to vigorously support the entrepreneurship and employment of personnel engaged in pension services. With policy support, the rural pension service team will surely grow like mushrooms after a rain. Rural pension, this game of chess can be described as strategic, overall planning. Insurance, facilities, talent, all aspects are taken into account.
Behind this, it reflects the great importance and strong support of the state for the rural pension work. It is believed that under such a strong guarantee, the elderly care services in the vast rural areas will bloom and flourish, and the happy old age of farmers will no longer be a dream! Of course, there is a long way to go for the elderly in rural areas. Although the policy is good, it is not easy to implement. Although elderly care services are improving, there is still a lot of work to be done to improve quality, expand coverage and ensure sustainability. This requires not only the unswerving efforts of governments at all levels, but also the extensive participation and cohesion of the whole society. Only in this way can the traditional family pension and modern pension service facilities complement each other and jointly inject new vitality into the rural pension service.
Epilogue:
So finally, I would like to ask: in the context of population aging, the issue of rural pension is related to thousands of households. The promulgation of the "Guiding Opinions" has undoubtedly brought good news to rural pensions. But that's just the beginning, after all. How to ensure that the policy is implemented to the letter? How to solve the problems faced by the development of rural pension services? What do you think about this?
