The Party Central Committee attaches great importance to it. General Secretary Xi Jinping has given important instructions and instructions many times. All regions and departments have worked hard to carry out work. It should be said that this work has made positive progress.
Guo Weimin: Last year, the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference carried out a series of consultation and deliberation activities around this work.
Relevant special committees held special consultation meetings, held forums, and also connected foreign experts through video to learn about the beneficial experience and development trends of community-based home care in the world.
The committee members also made suggestions and suggestions on improving the multi-level old-age security system, vigorously developing the "silver economy", and giving full play to the active role of the elderly through various forms such as special investigations, proposals, network-themed political discussions, and discussions. Many opinions and suggestions have been approved by the government. The department absorbs and adopts.
Guo Weimin: In particular, special democratic supervision was carried out around "accelerating the transformation of society for aging". Two vice-chairmen of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference led a team to conduct special investigations in 19 counties and districts in six cities in Hunan and Sichuan provinces.
In the democratic supervision work, not only the implementation of the pension policy, but also the construction of age-appropriate facilities and equipment is observed.
In particular, we should understand the situation around the three key tasks of elevator installation in old communities, barrier-free public places, and application of intelligent equipment for the elderly. These three tasks are the focus of aging-appropriate transformation.
The committee members walk through the street to enter the house, conduct on-the-spot inspections, walk around the barrier-free facilities, and pull the safety handrail to confirm whether it is barrier-free and really safe.
Efforts will be made to effectively solve the blocking points and difficulties in the aging-appropriate transformation.
In 8 provinces, autonomous regions and cities and two sub-provincial cities, questionnaires were issued for families, urban and rural communities and the general public to find out the real needs of the masses for social aging transformation.
Based on the survey results, the CPPCC members had discussions and exchanges with the relevant departments of the State Council and local governments, reported the situation face-to-face, studied problems, and discussed countermeasures, so as to promote the effective improvement of the aging-friendly renovation work.
The special democratic supervision of aging-appropriate transformation will last for 5 years. Last year was the first year.
We will work together with all parties to enhance the sense of achievement, happiness and security of the elderly.
