What are the problems faced by the elderly in rural areas today?

According to the Blue Book on Aging: A Survey Report on the Living Conditions of the Elderly in Urban and Rural Areas of China (2018), China's contemporary elderly are also facing many problems, including the continuous increase in the number of elderly people and the deepening of the aging of the population; The income level of the elderly is generally not high, and the elderly population is at greater risk of returning to poverty due to old age and illness. The health status of the elderly is not optimistic, the number of disabled and semi-disabled elderly people is large, the construction of the living environment for the elderly is lagging behind, the problem of unsuitable housing for the elderly in rural areas is particularly prominent, the spiritual comfort services for the elderly are seriously insufficient, and the problem of mental loneliness for the elderly in rural areas is particularly prominent.

Wang Shenyuan, director of the China Research Center on Aging, pointed out that the problems faced by the elderly in China are mainly the concrete embodiment of the contradiction between the people's growing needs for a better life and unbalanced and inadequate development, which need to be based on national conditions, learn from the world, and be solved in accordance with the basic strategy of socialism with Chinese characteristics put forward by the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.

Dang Junwu, deputy director of the China Research Center on Aging, pointed out that coping with the aging of the population is a systematic project, and in order to ensure that all people are healthy and old, prosperous and long-lived, in addition to doing a good job in old-age, health, medical care and other work, it is also necessary to make comprehensive arrangements in the medium and long term. **: The Paper.

1. Health problems.

Under normal circumstances, the physical fitness of the elderly in rural areas is still very good, but with the growth of age, the physical health of the elderly will also decline significantly, and at this time the prevalence of the elderly will also rise, especially in the empty nest in rural areas, their prevalence is much higher than that of others, because of perennial high physical labor, the proportion of chronic diseases and perennial diseases is far more than 70 80%, because the elderly in rural areas do not have pensions and pension insurance, Now more than 100 yuan per month of rural basic pension often becomes their main income, plus these old people are not willing to trouble their children, usually what illness most of them choose to hide, or take some cheap painkillers, until a sick time, many rural elderly people have no clothes to save the doctor, there are many chronic disease patients and the elderly, in the countryside is often to keep the job, can not keep the pills, and some of the old people around me, usually feel very healthy, However, the news that the elderly are gone often suddenly comes out, and the health of the elderly in rural areas is really worrying.

Second, the economic burden is heavier.

In the countryside, the level of economic development is still relatively low, with the advancement of urbanization and the improvement of living standards, a large number of young and middle-aged people in rural areas have gone to the city to work, which also makes a large number of old people left behind in the countryside, these old people in the countryside face far more difficulties than the old people in the city, because this part of the old people in the countryside, but also rely on their own labor to make a living, not only to plant their own fields, their children go out to work and stay in the fields at home, in order not to abandon them also to cultivate together, This undoubtedly increases the labor burden of the left-behind elderly, and they are tired and tired, and the income of crops throughout the year is not a little money, plus the cost of pesticides, seeds, and fertilizers, a young and strong laborer working in the city, a month's income can far exceed that of farming at home, and the total income of the elderly in a year, relying on this single economic income, they can only maintain a hard life in the countryside.

3. Loneliness. A lock when you go out, a light when you enter the door is the most direct portrayal of the life of many elderly people in rural areas, many elderly people in rural areas live alone for a long time, their children go out to work, and many children take their children to live in the city together, which also makes some old people not only live alone for a long time, but even the minimum spiritual comfort is seriously lacking, which also leads to the unclear purpose of life for many left-behind elderly people, coupled with the monotonous living environment and little contact with the outside world, which also makes many old people have a serious sense of loneliness. Reluctant to communicate with others, in rural areas, there are many elderly people suffering from autism and depression, they urgently need communication and communication, and even more need the comfort of their relatives.

It is said that singles are useless when they are old, which is also the reality of rural areas. The old man who used to eat tea, when he gets older, if he doesn't pay attention, he will be looked down upon by others, and he won't be able to get off the stage if he doesn't do well, and he will lose face, which is really not worth it. To sum up, there are ten mistakes that rural seniors are most likely to make:

1. I like to nag.

At home, my son is 40 years old, and he is still a child who can't grow up, and he always likes to give thousands of instructions; In society, he can't help but point fingers, and others are too lazy to pay attention to him.

2. I like to talk about things in the past.

Young people have their own experiences and insights, and their views on things are often different from those of older people, and the clichés of older people can only be tiresome.

3. Nosy.

It may be that there is no big deal all day long, no matter how big or small, as long as the old man knows, he has great interest, likes to inquire and discuss, and other people are unwilling to pay attention to him.

4. Rely on the old and sell the old.

Young people are sometimes forced to ask him for advice for the sake of face, and they always like to sell guanzi and talk about it as elders, but they don't know that these people are going to fall asleep and can't listen to it at all.

5. Reluctant to old objects.

When the countryside moves to a new house, the old people are reluctant to throw away anything, and the house is stuffed to the brim, and the juniors are not easy to say directly, and other people look uncomfortable when they come in.

6. It is not the one who speaks of children in front of outsiders.

In any case, children are the closest people to them, even if there are thousands of bad things, don't let others know, anyway, it will not help anything, and it will not do you any good.

7. Always talking about children not going home.

If you keep talking about your children not going home, it will increase the burden on your children's thoughts, but because you are too busy and don't have time to go home, your children's mental pressure will be too great.

8. Frequent excessive drinking.

At any time, don't drink too much, not only will you suffer a loss, but you will also be hospitalized if you don't do well, which will not benefit anyone.

9. Pay attention to hygiene.

Don't be busy with housework or farm work and delay your own cleaning, which is not only bad for your health, but also affects a family's plans.

10. If you can rely on yourself, don't rely on others.

When you live to old age, you have to take care of yourself, do what you can, don't overwork, don't be unwilling to do anything, and gradually become a wasted person, without the slightest value, and feel that there is no meaning in life.

To be a respectable old man, it's best to pretend that you can't see anything, don't listen, don't know what to do, and other people are not stupid, they know that your heart is like a mirror, and they respect you more. If they really want to ask you for advice, and they all put on different postures, how can you not see it? In a word, it is better to talk less, participate less, and worry less about all happy.

There are 10 mistakes that the elderly in rural areas are prone to make, and their children should also understand. The elderly are usually looking for a sense of existence, and they are also for the good of the family.

The biggest problem for the elderly in rural areas is the problem of providing for the elderly and seeing a doctor

Legal analysis: First, the support of the elderly is directly affected by the economic income of children, which lacks stability and has great risks. The income of the elderly is not high, and most of them need financial support from their children.

If the children's income is limited, the financial support provided to the parents is not much, which directly leads to the poor quality of life of the elderly.

Second, the demographic changes caused by family planning have caused excessive economic burdens on children to provide for the elderly. Before the implementation of family planning in China, a family with multiple children could jointly bear the obligation of providing for the elderly and help each other. Since the implementation of family planning, the number of children in families has decreased, there are more and more only children, and the number of "421" families has also increased.

Third, the decline in the moral level of the younger generation and the weak sense of responsibility pose a threat to family pension. Children have no filial piety and do not support the elderly, just like Zhang and the three brothers in the jurisdiction of our town, they shirk each other's pension responsibilities, compare with each other, do not fulfill their pension obligations and do not support the elderly, and their parents are sick and no one takes care of them, and they need social protection.

Legal basis: Article 3 of the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of the Elderly: The State protects the rights and interests enjoyed by the elderly in accordance with law. Older persons have the right to receive material assistance from the State and society, to enjoy social services and preferential treatment, and to participate in social development and share the fruits of development.

It is forbidden to discriminate, humiliate, abuse or abandon older persons.

The old man after the age of 40 is now around 80 years old, and many of them have passed away. People in their 60s after their 50s are now in their 60s or 70s. Most of them are still alive.

So when we talk about rural old people now, we mean them. In the 80s of the 20th century, when the land was divided, these people were in their 20s or 30s, and they were in the prime of life. They have experienced the full transformation of Chinese society from a traditional agrarian society to a modern industrial and commercial society.

It is no exaggeration to say that these people are the most difficult generation in Chinese history. As we all know, after the disbandment of the production team, the original team's cultivator disappeared, and the cultivator did not know where to go. Although the peasants were given a share of the land, they did not have ploughing fields and modern cultivators, and the family relied on shovels and hoes for several acres of land, and the mode of production suddenly returned to the primitive society.

Especially during the wheat harvest period, when several acres of wheat have been hammered with sticks and flails, it is unimaginable for people who have not experienced that kind of labor intensity. One of our team was so capable that he didn't sleep for five days and five nights, and at last they found him dying in the wheat field. That year, death from overwork was not an example.

It's hard work. It took a few years for small agricultural machines to appear. But it costs money to hire.

It was 00 years after we came here that large agricultural machinery was widely used. But it costs more than 100 won per acre per quarter. The farm work is a little easier.

The pressure to build a house came.

In the early 80s, one or two families in the village demolished the thatched houses and built small tiled houses. No one thinks that thing is very far away from them. But by the 90s of the 20th century, the kennel of the hut had become crowded, and everyone was no longer blurred.

Is the first thing my son said when he said that marriage was to build a house? In other words, the absence of a tiled house is directly related to whether or not a son can get married. Building a house became the first big thing.

In the early days, the house was small, and it was built for about 50 pyeong for 3,000 won. After 2000, the house was built very large, and three 80-square-meter houses received 450,000 won. Regardless of whether it is built early or late, after the house is built, all the savings are spent, and some have to pay off the debt.

After that, another man built a building, and the two- and three-story buildings generally did not flourish, and he went into the city and bought a house. In the countryside, both bungalows and buildings have failed, and there are countless rooms, and there are rooms in the city to marry a daughter-in-law. Today, the house prices in our county town are sold from one square meter to 10,000 won.

It's residential hard. But no. The task is here again to bring grandchildren.

Some people bought houses in the city, and the old couple went to the city to take their grandchildren to make time for the young people to make money. Some are almost at home with grandchildren, empty nesters and left-behind children.

The current situation of those elderly people is not very good, they are basically empty nesters, and their children rarely accompany them.

The current situation is not very good, because there are many children working hard outside, and there is no time to provide for the elderly, and the current situation does not look particularly ideal.

The old man is also living a very good life now, although the financial ability is not particularly abundant, but the life is still very happy, and it is also very fulfilling.

At present, the rural areas are divided into two levels, and the young people are going out to work, while the elderly are staying in the villages, and there are more and more elderly people. With the increase of these elderly people and the loss of labor, old-age care has become a social problem. The elderly have different health and economic conditions, and the way of providing for the elderly is different.

Some of the old people mixed well when they were young, and they have saved enough pension money for themselves. Part of it is supported by the filial piety of children. The elderly with poor conditions can only support the elderly in dire straits, and these people need the support of the state.

Naturally, there are some capable old people in the countryside, who are engaged in business or village cadres when they are young, and have accumulated enough pension money for themselves after decades of struggle, so they don't have to worry even if they are old, and their life should be good in their later years. The key is to take good care of your body.

Most of the elderly in rural areas rely entirely on their own strength to live comfortably in their old age, and it is difficult to live a certain life. This is where external forces come in. Many farmers spend all the money they have earned all their lives on their children, and when their children start a family, their pockets will be empty.

At this time, if you are in good health, you can continue to work in the fields and achieve self-sufficiency. If there is a health problem, you can only rely on your children to provide for the elderly. This type of elderly person sometimes has children who give money, and sometimes children who take them to the city to spend their old age.

Basically, there is no need to worry about old age.

The most pitiful thing is the third type of people, who have physical problems, lose labor or cannot take care of themselves, and drag down their children financially. The premise is that it is difficult for the children to support themselves. The living conditions of such elderly people are extremely difficult.

Pension has become a big problem. This part of the elderly pension problem needs the support of the society and the state. After entering the aging population, the problem of old-age care is not only faced by the city, but also exists in the countryside, because young people are pouring into the city, and the family pension in the past no longer exists.

Most of the elderly are provided for in rural areas, with crop income and subsidies for their children. This is where most of the elderly in rural areas belong.
