How do foreigners support the elderly?

Influenced by the one-child policy, more and more families in China show a "four-two-one" family structure, that is, both husband and wife have to support four old people and raise one child, which is very stressful. How to provide for the aged has become a hot topic of concern to everyone. So in those developed countries, how do they provide for the elderly? How do foreigners support the elderly abroad?

1, Japan retired and provided waste heat.

Japan's aging rate is expected to reach 30% by 2025. Due to the shortage of labor, the "waste heat" of the elderly has once again attracted social attention.

Most of the elderly in big cities such as Tokyo come from rural areas. Returning to their hometown after retirement can not only solve the problem of insufficient rural labor force, but also make the retired old people support themselves and reduce the financial burden of the country, which has received strong support from the government.

There is a specialized nursing equipment company in Tokyo, whose employees are all over 70 years old, mainly developing various nursing equipment suitable for the elderly. Because the company is the elderly and knows the needs of the elderly best, the products developed are very popular.

The Japanese government has also introduced nursing insurance to provide perfect services for those elderly people who can't take care of themselves or have mobility difficulties and suffer from dementia.

2. German community pension has become the mainstream.

The retirement insurance system in Germany adopts the amortization method, that is, the retirement insurance premium paid by the working generation is used to pay the retirement pension of retirees. According to the general rule, the most reasonable and effective ratio should be 1 retiree for every 3 employees.

At present, the community pension model in Germany is becoming the mainstream. In order to solve the problem of the shortage of nursing staff for the elderly, the German government has implemented a "storage time" system: after citizens reach the age of 18, they should use public holidays or holidays to volunteer to work in elderly apartments or elderly rehabilitation centers. Volunteer workers who take part in aged care can accumulate service time in exchange for enjoying the service time of others when they are old.

Old people and children in Singapore grew up together.

Singapore has achieved a sense of security for the elderly in the following three ways:

The first is family-based care for the elderly. In order to prevent more and more elderly families from "empty nest", the Singapore government has formulated preferential policies for property buyers, that is, those who are willing to live with their parents or buy a house close to their parents can be granted a one-time reduction of S $30,000 after approval by the relevant departments, with the aim of encouraging young people to support their parents.

The second is day care for the elderly. For double-income families who don't have time to take care of the elderly and children, Singapore has set up a corresponding institution-Trinity Family Center, which organically combines the old-age care center with the nursery to take care of both preschool children and primary school students, as well as the elderly. In some families, young couples may send the elderly and children here every day.

The third is institutional pension. It is basically the same as the old-age apartments established by various domestic pension institutions at present, and it is divided into high, medium and low charging standards.

4. American apartments for the aged are very popular.

The United States has a good retirement pension system, which can be roughly divided into the following categories: living in an apartment for the elderly and living independently; Living in a living area with all kinds of auxiliary equipment; Living in a caring retirement community; Old people live in nursing homes; Live in your own home.

More and more elderly Americans like to live in apartments for the elderly. Generally, apartments for the elderly have multiple units, which are only rented to the elderly over 55 years old. This apartment is quiet, and you can make new and old friends here.

5. British community pension

At present, there are more than 654.38+million elderly people over 65 in Britain, accounting for 654.38+08% of the total population of China, and there are also 3.7 million elderly people over 75. The average life expectancy of British people has increased to 7 1 year for men and 77 years for women. Nowadays, there have been some "cities for the aged" in Britain, such as Baker Hill, Hastings and Eastburn. These holiday cities are picturesque, and retired people have moved in to spend their old age. The urban elderly population has accounted for 20 ~ 50%. Facing more and more elderly people, how does Britain solve their pension problem? Since the 1990s, Britain has brought the issue of providing for the aged into the community and adopted the community-based pension model.

6. Self-help pensions in Denmark

In Denmark, DIY is currently the most popular one. There, the old people can do what they want, make friends with like-minded old friends or partners to live together, fish and raise flowers together, build their own homes, exclusive apartments, restaurants, gardens, personalized handicraft workshops and small farms. And the old people here can get full satisfaction as long as they think about it, and they can also * * *.
