摘要: 目前我国正在加速进入老龄化社会,主要表现为老年人口绝对数量大、增长快、高龄老人比例高。与世界其他老龄化国家相比,我国老龄化社会的经济基础明显较弱,是典型的"未富先老"社会。面对人口老龄化程度日益加剧的趋势,我国传统的居家养老模式面临冲击,社区养老、机构养老等社会化养老模式尚未形成,社会养老服务供需矛盾突出。欧美发达国家的经验表明,从家庭养老为主向社会养老为主转变,是养老模式演变的基本趋势。因此,为应对人口老龄化对我国经济社会的冲击,需要加快我国养老服务的社会化、专业化进程,建立适应我国国情的社会养老服务体系,加快养老服务产业的发展,使"银发产业"成为我国未来一个新兴的朝阳产业。

Abstract: China is experiencing rapid ageing of population,characterized by a large old - age population which is growing rapidly and a rising proportion of the oldest - old.In contrast to other ageing countries,China has a lower level of economic development,a society typically being described to be " getting old before getting rich" .Chinese traditional home - based old - age support pattern is challenged by the accelerated population aging,while the elderly social support patterns,such as those that are community - or institution - based,are still under - developed,resulting prominent contradiction between service supply and demand.Experiences from developed countries in Europe and America show that transition from home - based to social - based support is the main trend of the changing old - age support system.In addressing the population aging challenge,China needs to accelerate the " socialization and professionalization" process of the elderly support service,construct a social support system that adapt to the national conditions,develop the elderly support service industry,and thus turn the " silver-hair industry" into a new " sunrise industry" .
