The Semi-market-oriented Community Mutual Support for the Aged:The Village Collective Coordination and Practice Orientation in the Care of the Elderly in Rural Areas
The practice of mutual support for the elderly,while breaking the drawbacks of pure welfare and pure market pension models,still exhibits deficiencies in its object and content of service.The semi-market-based community mutual support for the aged integrates market and community elements simultaneously.Relying on the collective public role,it recommends resources for the elderly and provides semi-market-based services for the aged at lower prices than market prices.This has become a suitable choice under the current background of population aging.In the practice of semi-market-oriented community pension,village community collective can not only integrate internal and external pension resources and social mobilization,but also intervene in the process of pension service,coordinate notarization,supervise the quality of pension service,protect the legitimate rights and interests of both parties,and strengthen the public welfare attribute of mutual assistance for the elderly.With collective pooling as the core,semi-market-based community mutual support for the aged has built a low-cost and high-welfare mutual support public platform for the elderly in villages by integrating the roles of multiple subjects such as the government,the market and families.
