"Establish a volunteer service record system with national networks and village connections, and encourage volunteers to carry out public welfare services and help the elderly when they are relatively young and have service capabilities, and they can rely on volunteer service records to obtain help from others." Jin Li, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and a professor at Peking University's Guanghua School of Management, said in an exclusive interview with the cover news on March 2 that he brought a number of proposals on pension services at this year's two sessions, one of which is related to rural mutual assistance for the elderly.

With the growth of the number of elderly people in China, the degree of aging in China continues to increase, and the problem of old-age care is becoming increasingly prominent. In recent years, Jin li has continued to pay attention to old-age services and guarantees, and offered suggestions and suggestions for improving the quality of life of the elderly. He believes that solving the problems faced by rural old-age care as soon as possible can solve the worries of young and middle-aged laborers who have gone to the city to work in rural areas and reduce the burden of old-age care for the working-age population.

"Compared with the urban elderly population, the rural elderly population in the township pension has the lack of pension service supply, insufficient pension infrastructure and other hard problems, and the rural elderly need to solve the difference between urban and rural living habits, family relationship reconciliation and other soft problems, which makes it more difficult for the rural elderly to improve the quality of life of the elderly than the urban elderly." Kim Lee said.

Why propose mutual assistance for the elderly? Jin Li said that the mutual aid pension model has a stronger social nature than the commercial pension, which can enable the rural elderly to achieve neighborhood exchanges and participate in village activities in the process of mutual assistance, and achieve spiritual and material double satisfaction while helping each other.

Jin Li believes that the tradition of rural neighborhood watch and mutual assistance for the elderly are compatible. Rural areas attach importance to blood, geography and kinship, and residents have close neighborly contacts in production and life, and have good living habits of watching out for each other. At the same time, the rural elderly have a low desire to purchase third-party old-age services, and the rural elderly are accustomed to turning to acquaintances and neighbors first when they encounter pension problems. This makes mutual assistance pension more suitable for the pension needs of the rural elderly than commercial pension models, and has unique advantages in rural areas.

Therefore, he suggested clarifying the main body of mutual assistance pension management and the division of responsibilities. In order to put the mutual assistance pension on the right track, it is necessary to manage the main body and responsibility in detail to avoid the problem of mutual blame and mutual assistance infrastructure. Rural mutual assistance for the elderly is solved according to the village, and the village committee has the unshirkable responsibility. The village committee should use collective funds and idle resources in the village to provide the most basic hardware facilities for mutual assistance and old-age care.

He believes that special funds need to be set up to reward and supplement mutual assistance for the elderly. Financial support for rural mutual assistance for the elderly should be increased through channels such as national awards and subsidies, the infrastructure construction of mutual aid nursing homes should be encouraged, and the mutual aid pension service centers should be equipped with nursing beds, daily medical equipment, medical rehabilitation facilities, cultural and recreational activities and other equipment, so as to meet the hardware basic conditions for mutual aid and old-age care, and appropriate rewards should be given to individuals and units that actively participate in mutual assistance for the elderly.

Jin Li also suggested that a volunteer service record system be established to encourage volunteers to provide public welfare services, help the elderly, store volunteer service time, and when volunteers are old, they can get help from others with volunteer service records, provide technical support and system guarantee for the "time bank" model of mutual assistance for the elderly, and also allow the elderly to migrate across villages and regions to integrate into the new environment faster and enjoy mutual assistance and old-age services with records.
