Renovation and upgrading of pension design based on China's national conditions

Abstract

As China's aging population gradually grows and people's needs for life enjoyment increase, the planning and design of China's elderly care sector need to keep pace with the times. This paper reviews the problems of China's pension model and different pension institutions, and summarizes the possible improvement methods for these existing problems. First of all, the paper finds that among the several existing pension models in China, the elderly are gradually changing from home-based pensions to institutional pensions, and then the paper conducts an in-depth discussion on the operation methods and existing problems of different elderly institutions, such as nursing homes, elderly schools, elderly communities, etc. In addition, the more significant problems of Chinese elderly care institutions are backward equipment and facilities, inadequate management and operation, and insufficient attention to building design. In response to these problems, China should strengthen the research on the psychological needs of the elderly, improve their surrounding environment, and meet certain needs of the elderly through different design methods. Overall, the abnormal age structure in China determines that the society must strengthen the construction of the elderly care field. Only by thoroughly researching and understanding the characteristics, differences, and problems of China’s elderly care field can we be able to deal with the problems that are to come at this stage and in the future.
