By 2020, the number of people aged above 60 is projected to increase to 255 million in China, or 17.8% of the total population; people aged over 80 will rise to around 29 million, and seniors living alone will number 118 million. In addition, current laws and regulations concerning senior citizens are less comprehensive, coordinated, relevant and workable; senior care services and systems are unbalanced between urban and rural areas and between different regions. Effective elderly care services are insufficient and of low quality, with unsatisfactory economic benefits and a shortage of professionals; relevant institutions and mechanisms are underdeveloped, worsened by inadequate social engagement and weak infrastructure at the community level.
According to the plan, by 2020 China will provide better senior care services, supported by significantly improved senior care systems, and social involvement will be strengthened to better respond to population aging in a science-based and integrated manner.
90% of urban employees and rural and urban residents will be covered by the basic old-age insurance system, and more than 95% of them will have access to the basic medical insurance system. The social security system, including social insurance, social welfare and social assistance, will be better integrated with charity programs. And the needs of senior citizens for basic life necessities, medical services and care will be met.
Senior care services and systems will be more law-based, digital and standardized. Market vitality and social creativity will be stimulated, and a new credit-based market regulatory mechanism will be built and enhanced, offering diverse and quality elderly care services and products from more providers.
In addition, the general public will be more ready to respond to population aging and contribute to the development of senior care services and systems. A social climate that respects, cares for and supports senior citizens will be enhanced. Also for the elders, a livable environment will be built; cultural and sports programs will be strengthened; their legitimate rights and interests will be more effectively protected, and better conditions will be created to help them take part in social development.
