Six consensus".

He believes that to implement the national strategy to actively respond to the aging of the population, it is necessary to form "six consensuses" as soon as possible.

  One is to deal with consensus in accordance with the law.

Proceeding from the basic national conditions of China’s population aging, it is necessary to establish a legal and regulatory system that is compatible with the modernization of the national governance system and governance capabilities to actively respond to population aging. This is the imperative of a comprehensive rule of law, and it is also a country that actively responds to population aging. The top priority of strategy.

  The second is to actively respond to consensus.

It is necessary to adopt more active attitudes, policies and actions, persist in actively responding to the combination of population aging and promoting economic and social development, persist in the combination of meeting the needs of the elderly and solving the problem of population aging, and soberly recognize the challenges brought about by population aging At the same time, strive to tap the vitality and opportunities it brings to national development.

  The third is to integrate and coordinate consensus.

To integrate active responses to population aging into all policies, the entire public policy system must have a perspective on actively responding to population aging.

It is necessary to promote the efficient integration and coordination of various elements such as policies, resources, and forces to actively respond to the aging of the population, and form a joint force for active response.

  The fourth is the consensus on comprehensive development.

Establish the concept of comprehensive and life-long development of people, and regard aging problems at the individual level and the problems of the elderly at the group level as a dynamic development process; promote healthy aging, and move the threshold of actively responding to the aging of the population to the younger population, even Young population, to ensure that the cost of actively responding to an aging population is fundamentally reduced.

At the same time, elderly care services should be integrated and developed with rural revitalization, poverty alleviation, lifelong education, etc., to promote the integration of the elderly and the whole person, and the integration of digitalization and ageing.

  Fifth, the consensus of national action.

Fully mobilize the government, market, society, family and all aspects including the elderly to form a new situation of active response and national action.

  Sixth, consensus on scientific precision.

It is necessary to conduct comprehensive, multidisciplinary, and systematic scientific research to clarify the directional, fundamental, overall, and strategic issues of actively responding to the aging of the population; construct an objective, accurate and dynamic reflection of the living conditions of the elderly, especially the elderly The aging big data platform for human needs enables it to provide scientific support for the implementation of the national strategy to actively respond to the aging of the population, and to promote the sustainable development of the aging cause and industry; promote various policies and measures from "flood irrigation" to "drip irrigation", with precise focus on the main goals Group, focus on solving outstanding problems.

  Wu Yushao said that the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China proposed to implement the national strategy to actively respond to the aging of the population, which is a milestone and epoch-making significance.

The implementation of the national strategy to actively respond to the aging of the population must achieve "the unity of knowledge and action". Only the correct "knowledge" can "act" correctly.
