Research On The Development Path Of Volunteer Service For The Aged In Urban Community

Voluntary service for the elderly is an ideal way for the elderly to rebuild their retirement life order and an important way for the elderly to participate in society.With the deepening of population aging in China,the problem of aging is becoming increasingly prominent.In addition,the retirement age of urban workers in China is relatively early.Under the circumstance of limited formal employment opportunities,participation in voluntary service is a realistic choice for the elderly in their old age.As a new type of social participation for the elderly,volunteer service for the elderly in China rose in the 1980 s.In view of the short development history of community voluntary service for the elderly in China,it is still in the ascendant stage,and there are still many problems in its service process and management mode.Therefore,this study conducts a field survey of BN community in Nanning City,in order to understand the existing problems of elderly volunteer service in China and put forward the idea of optimizing the path of the development of elderly volunteer service.Overall,the main problems of elderly volunteer service in BN community are as follows: in terms of volunteer service subjects,elderly volunteers lack professional skills and have a shallow understanding of the connotation of volunteer service;in terms of community elderly volunteer service support system,there is a lack of targeted incentive mechanism and weak support of emerging elderly volunteer projects;in terms of the development of elderly volunteer service organizations,community elderly volunteer service The management ability of service platform is insufficient,and the responsibility of community elderly volunteer project is vague.These problems make the community elderly volunteer participation satisfactionis low,the community volunteer platform management is confused,the value of elderly volunteers has not been fully recognized by society,thus hindering the smooth and healthy development of community elderly volunteer service.Based on the macro-cultural environment factors,aging policy factors,community conditions and individual factors of the theoretical framework of productive aging,this paper analyses the constraints of the elderly volunteer service in BN community,and tries to put forward the path of the development of community elderly volunteer service.To build the development path of voluntary service for the elderly,we should consider the following four aspects: in terms of macro-cultural environment,we should expand community voluntary culture through training and propaganda;in terms of policy dimension,the government and community need to multiply their efforts to implement Voluntary Security mechanism;in terms of community conditions,social institutions and communities should work together to strengthen voluntary force;in accordance with the elderly,we should strengthen voluntary force.Individual dimension,individual and family should cooperate to promote and provide psychological support.
