Research on the development direction of rural mutual assistance for the elderly

In the context of the aging of the rural population causing the traditional family pension model to gradually decline, rural mutual assistance pension has emerged and become a key supplement to traditional family pension and an important development trend in the field of pension services. However, its current practice faces many difficulties, such as the lagging of pension ideas due to the confinement of traditional concepts, insufficient and unstable funding sources, and limited service levels due to lack of professional knowledge and skills. In the face of these difficulties, comprehensive measures can be taken to continuously optimize the practical path of rural mutual assistance pension and promote the high-quality development of rural pension security.
