Study On The Current Situation Of The Family-care Of Rural Elders Of Support Or Self-care

At present,the aged problem has already become the focus of the society with the increasing intensification of the old aging.There are three main kinds of old-age security model,which are family-care,institutional-care and community-care.Being influenced by various factors such as the physical degradation and the changing social environment,both the life self-care ability and the psychological endurance of the elderly are gradually weakening.The elderly living in rural communities,who cannot be provided the social welfare as well as the urban communities,have to maintain their daily-life through keeping self-working.Furthermore,the income of their offspring is not high enough to afford to both of their own families' expenses and the admission fees of nursing home for the old people.Meanwhile,the home-care,which is a new pension mode of community,is still in the exploration and implementation stage in a minority of urban community.Currently,the elderly who living in rural-community are still in mode of family-care.However,there are many risks of this “self-care” lifestyle for most of the elderly.Nowadays,not only the social security system in the rural areas is incomplete,but also the infrastructure construction is lagging behind.So what can we do to improve the function of the family-care is worth researching in further.This paper begins with the literature review,which are the research results of some scholars who have studied in the issues related to the family-care.Then it investigates the F-village in Jiangxi province,analyzing the existent problems,causes and effects of the F-village's family-care situation through the methods of questionnaire survey and case interview.It is found that the older' family-care of F village mainly has these problems: the dissatisfaction of their family caring,the single existing form,the deficiency of other kinds of care form,the role transition,the low-levels social security and so on.According to the investigation and study,this paper suggests that we should complete the following aspects: In terms of the national levels,firstly we should continue to promoting the endowment policy formulation.Secondly,we should implement and promote the system reform,raising the level of social security in rural communities.In terms of the community levels,we should strengthen the integration and utilization of the community resources,and improve the social public acceptance and approval.In terms of the family levels,we should promote the harmony and stability of the family relations,as well as enhance the support and assistance between neighborhoods.In terms of the elder people,we should enrich their life culture and demands.
