Research on the Realistic Path of Rural Mutual Aid for the Aged under the Background of Rural Revitalization

Abstract

The No. 1 Central Document in 2021 pointed out that "if the nation is to rejuvenate, the countryside must be rejuvenated." In the context of rural revitalization, the problem of old-age care for the elderly in rural areas has become increasingly prominent. At present, with the increasingly prominent problem of population aging, people from all walks of life and the government are exploring innovative models to deal with the elderly in rural areas. The underdevelopment of China's rural economy is a prominent problem for the elderly in rural areas, which has resulted in the pattern of "getting old before getting rich" in rural areas. Therefore, in order to better cope with the problem of old-age care for the elderly in rural areas, various regions have actively carried out mutual-aid care programs in rural areas according to local conditions. Based on mutual assistance, the elderly have the characteristics of providing old-age care on the spot without leaving the village, which enables the elderly in rural areas to truly enjoy the old-age life of "being supported by the elderly".
