《中国健康老龄化发展蓝皮书(2023-2024)》发布,聚焦以健康老龄化应对人口老龄化策略,为积极应对老龄化挑战提供了重要参考。由北京大学医学人文学院教授王红漫主编的蓝皮书,历时两年精心筹备,汇集了25篇高质量论文与报告,深入探讨了健康老龄化研究与实践的最新动态与未来趋势。蓝皮书围绕“积极老龄观、健康老龄化”的主题,全面剖析了老龄化社会面临的机遇、挑战与问题,提出了一系列具有实践性与可操作性的政策建议。
当前,全球人口老龄化趋势显著,预计至2030年,全球60岁及以上的老年人口将增长至14亿,至2050年,这一数字将达到21亿,老龄化程度的加深对社会、经济和医疗体系提出了严峻挑战。与此同时,中国也正步入人口老龄化的深度阶段,2023年底的老年人口总量已达2.96亿,占总人口比例的21.1%,预计到2050年,这一比例将攀升至34.9%,老龄化问题亟需得到高度关注和系统性的解决方案。
面对人口老龄化,重要的是要全面、客观地认识这一现象,既看到其带来的积极意义,也认识到其挑战。人口老龄化是人类社会发展的自然规律,经济越发达、生活越富裕的国家,其老龄化程度往往越高,这是社会发展到一定阶段的必然结果。因此,应采取积极态度,通过健康老龄化策略,实现人口老龄化与经济社会发展的和谐共进。
蓝皮书强调,健康老龄化是积极应对人口老龄化国家战略的关键手段,也是推进健康中国战略的重要组成部分。健康老龄化意味着通过提升老年人的健康水平和生活质量,实现老有所养、老有所医、老有所乐,从而减轻社会负担,促进经济与社会的可持续发展。通过扩大优质服务供给、优化医疗资源分配、增强社会保障体系、促进老年教育与文化活动等措施,可以有效促进健康老龄化战略的实施,为应对人口老龄化挑战提供强大支撑。
《中国健康老龄化发展蓝皮书(2023-2024)》的发布,不仅为政策制定者提供了宝贵的参考,也为社会各界关注人口老龄化问题、探索健康老龄化路径提供了重要指引。通过跨学科、跨领域的合作与创新,我们可以共同构建更加包容、健康、可持续的未来社会,让老龄化成为社会发展的积极力量,而非负担。

Title: “Blue Book Release: Tackling Population Aging through Healthy Aging”
Keywords: Healthy Aging, Population Aging, Active Response
Content: The “China Blue Book on Development of Healthy Aging (2023-2024)” was released, focusing on strategies for healthy aging to address the challenges of population aging. Edited by Professor Wang Hongman from the Medical Humanities School of Peking University, this blue book, prepared over two years, compiles 25 high-quality papers and reports, delving into the latest dynamics and future trends in healthy aging research and practice. The blue book centers on the themes of “Active Ageing View, Healthy Aging,” thoroughly analyzing the opportunities, challenges, and issues faced by aging societies, and proposing a series of practical and implementable policy suggestions.
Currently, the global trend of population aging is pronounced, with the number of people aged 60 and above projected to increase to 1.4 billion by 2030 and 2.1 billion by 2050. The deepening of aging poses serious challenges to society, economics, and healthcare systems. Meanwhile, China is also entering a stage of deep population aging, with the total number of elderly people reaching 296 million at the end of 2023, accounting for 21.1% of the total population, and this ratio expected to rise to 34.9% by 2050. The issue of aging requires high-level attention and systematic solutions.
Faced with population aging, it is crucial to have a comprehensive and objective understanding of this phenomenon, recognizing both its positive implications and challenges. Population aging is a natural law of human social development, with countries that are more economically developed and have a higher standard of living often experiencing higher rates of aging. This is a result of societies reaching a certain stage of development. Therefore, an active attitude is necessary, employing healthy aging strategies to achieve harmonious coexistence between aging populations and economic and social development.
The blue book emphasizes that healthy aging is a key approach in the national strategy for addressing population aging, and an integral part of the Healthy China initiative. Healthy aging means enhancing the health level and quality of life of the elderly, enabling them to be well-cared for, receive adequate medical care, and enjoy leisure activities. This can help alleviate social burdens and promote sustainable economic and social development. Measures such as expanding quality service provision, optimizing distribution of medical resources, strengthening social security systems, and promoting elderly education and cultural activities can effectively facilitate the implementation of the healthy aging strategy, providing strong support for tackling the challenges of population aging.
The release of the “China Blue Book on Development of Healthy Aging (2023-2024)” not only provides valuable reference for policymakers but also serves as a significant guide for society to address the issue of population aging and explore the path of healthy aging. Through interdisciplinary and cross-sector collaboration and innovation, we can jointly build a more inclusive, healthy, and sustainable society, transforming aging into a positive force rather than a burden in social development.
