First, the burden of old-age security is getting heavier and heavier. In 24, the total expenditure of basic old-age insurance in China reached 35.2 billion yuan, an increase of 65.5% compared with 2, and the subsidy expenditure of the central government for basic old-age insurance climbed to 52.2 billion yuan. Retirement, retirement and resignation expenses have also shown a trend of soaring year after year. The government, enterprises and society have all felt that the pressure on old-age security is increasing significantly.

Second, the pressure of medical and health expenditure for the elderly is increasing. According to estimates, the medical and health resources consumed by the elderly are generally 3-5 times that of other people. In 24, the expenditure of China basic medical insurance fund reached 86.2 billion yuan, accounting for 75.5% of the fund's income, up 31.6% over the previous year, and the growth rate was 3.5 percentage points faster than the fund's income. The rapid aging of population is one of the important reasons for the rapid growth of basic medical insurance fund expenditure.

Third, the demand for serving the old society is expanding rapidly. At present, the aging of the elderly population and the empty nest of the elderly families in China are obvious. In 25, there were more than 16 million elderly people over 8 years old in China, and the proportion of elderly families accounted for about 4.3% in urban areas and 37.8% in rural areas, and it continues to increase. Coupled with the sick and disabled population among the elderly, the number of care services is very large, while the development of existing social services is relatively backward.

Take the institutions for the aged and the number of beds as an example. At the end of 25, there were 39,5 social welfare institutions for the elderly in China, with a total of 1.497 million beds, with an average of only 1 beds per 1, elderly people. In developed countries, the average number of old-age beds per thousand elderly people is about 5-7. According to the survey conducted by the National Working Committee on Ageing, about 5% of the elderly want to live in an old-age care institution. In this way, there will be more than 7 million beds, which is a big gap, and it is urgent to speed up the development.

Fourth, compared with cities, there is greater pressure to solve the problem of aging in rural areas. Nearly 6% of the elderly population in China is distributed in rural areas. The degree of rural aging is 1.24 percentage points higher than that of cities and towns. At the same time, the social endowment insurance system has not been established in most rural areas, and the new rural cooperative medical system is still in the pilot stage, and the social security of farmers' pension and medical care needs to be strengthened. With the acceleration of population aging process, the pressure on rural pension and medical care will be more prominent than that in cities and towns, especially in western and poverty-stricken areas.
