Shen Danyang: "During the 13th Five-Year Plan period, we will support the construction of 2,000 county-level integrated elderly care service management platforms."

On the morning of March 5th, the State Council Information Office held a press briefing. Shen Danyang, head of the drafting group for the government work report and director of the State Council Research Office, stated that the "one elderly, one child" service is a particularly important issue for every family, and it is also a point of convergence between improving people's livelihoods and promoting development. This year, when netizens provided suggestions for the government work report, they made many suggestions regarding the "one elderly, one child" issue. Premier Li Keqiang responded positively to the issues of concern to netizens regarding "one elderly, one child" in the government work report, proposing a series of supportive measures. The State Council has already stated that during the "thirteenth five-year plan" period, they will support the establishment of 2,000 county-level comprehensive elderly service management platforms, promote the coverage rate of township and village regional elderly service centers to over 80%, and ensure the basic establishment of a three-tier elderly service network in counties, townships, and villages. This year's report also proposes measures to promote the high-quality development of the silver economy. Relevant departments will launch a three-year action plan to promote the development of the silver economy and further promote the coordinated development of the elderly care industry.
