On February 9, the State Council Information Office held a regular briefing on the State Council's policies on the "14th Five-Year Plan for Urban and Rural Community Service System Construction". Ou Xiaoli, director of the Social Development Department of the National Development and Reform Commission, said that we cannot meet the most basic needs. Before the security is guaranteed, we should go to "poetry and distant places" first, and we cannot let the elderly in urban areas become "isolated islands of demand" in the Internet age, nor can the elderly in rural areas be forced to chop firewood and cook by themselves at the age of 80 or 90.
In the next five years, we must strive to gradually cover more than 80% of the communities in large cities with elderly meals, and the monthly visit rate of elderly people with special difficulties can reach 100%.
