摘要：

由于受新中国成立后第二次出生人口数高峰期的影响，在2021—2039年我国将逐渐出现60—69岁低龄老年人口数高峰期，其峰值之高和延续时间之长空前绝后，并将产生一系列后续影响，从而给我们实施积极应对人口老龄化的国家战略带来严峻挑战。而对这一重要特点，各级政府和社会尚未给予高度关注。有鉴于此，应倡导被国际社会接受的“积极老龄化”理念，以及被列入我国加强新时代老龄工作指导思想的老年人“社会参与”。进一步而言，促进老年人以各种方式“参与”不仅是“积极老龄化”的主要内容，而且老年人适度“参与”有利于增进健康。尤其是低龄老年人的适度“参与”不仅有利于他们以各种方式对经济和社会发展继续作贡献，而且极大有利于维持他们的“功能发挥”，有效促进本世纪中叶我国的健康老龄化。基于上述认识，在我国制定2021—2040年期间的健康老龄化五年规划和二〇三五年远景目标以及其他相关中长期规划中关于积极应对人口老龄化国家战略时，应明确写入“老年人社会参与”的重要影响，强调老年人适度“参与”不够或过度“参与”的风险隐患，坚持老年人因人而异适度“参与”的原则，扩展未来健康老龄化的主要任务和措施；在联合各部委制定规划时有关方面应在保留参与制定《“十三五”健康老龄化规划》的民政部和全国老龄办的同时，增加文化和旅游部。

Abstract:

Due to the second population peak after the foundation of the People’s Republic of China, the next two decades will witness the unprecedented peak of the younger-age elderly aged 60-69 and a series of related impacts, so we will face rigorous challenges while executing the national strategy of formulating active response on population aging. However, governments at all levels and the society failed to pay great attention to important characteristics of this unprecedented peak. In this light, we should advocate the notion of “positive aging” accepted by the international society and the idea of the elderly’s “social participation”, which has been rated as the guideline of strengthening work on the aging population in the new era. More specifically, promoting the elderly’s “participation” in various ways is the main content of “positive aging” on the one hand, and appropriate participation of the elderly is good for their health on the other. Especially for the younger-age elderly, their appropriate participation will not only encourage them to contribute continually to the economic and social development, but help maintain their “functioning” as well, contributing to healthy aging in mid-21st century. So in formulating active response on population aging in “The 14th Five-Year Plan for Social and Economic Development” and “Future Targets for 2035”, it is important to include the significance of the “social participation of the elderly”, pay attention to the appropriate “participation” of the elderly and the risks of their “inadequate or excessive participation”, insist on the principle of appropriate participation which varies from person to person and supplement the main task and measures of healthy aging in future. When all departments are united to formulate plans, National Health Commission should not only retain the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the National Office for Aging that participated in the formulation of “The 13th Five-Year Plan for Healthy Aging”, but add the Ministry of Culture and Tourism as well.

Key words: the younger-age elderly, positive aging, appropriate participation, healthy aging
