With the improvement of the level of social and economic development in China,the degree of social aging is becoming more and more serious.First,the implementation of China’s family planning policy has led to a decrease in the birth rate,a decrease in the number of young people and a deepening of the aging population.Second,the implementation of the family planning policy makes the family structure small and core,resulting in the burden of supporting the elderly increased.Family endowment is difficult to meet the needs of the elderly,especially to meet the special psychological and physiological needs of the elderly.Third,due to the improvement of medical and health conditions,the average life expectancy of the people across the country has increased,and there are more and more elderly people.In recent decades,a large number of young and middle-aged labor force has been lost in rural areas of China,which has destroyed the foundation of family pension.A large number of rural left-behind elderly people lack the care of their children,their spirit is empty and their life is difficult,especially the elderly who have lost their spouse and live alone.Faced with the lack of social endowment resources and the weakening of family endowment function,the rural elderly living alone have become a vulnerable group and are facing a lot of pension dilemma.Taking Q Village,D Town,X District,Baoding City as an example,the author uses statistical data analysis method,interview method,participation observation method and action research method to understand that the elderly living alone in Q Village have problems such as lack of care in life,emotional emptiness and spirit.In the case of voluntary registration,according to the elderly must be at least 60 years old and live alone and have the basic mobility conditions,recruit 10 elderly people in the village to carry out group activities.Through six group activities,the close relationship between the group members was gradually formed,and the communication mode was also transformed to a deeper level.After the intervention of the group,the group members obtained each other’s emotional support and established the mode of mutual help in life,which resulted in the increase of the close relationship between neighbors and the satisfaction of the interaction needs.This group activity has achieved the expected effect of enhancing the neighborhood mutual assistance of the elderly living alone in rural areas.Finally,the author summarized the enlightenment from this group work experience,and from the practice of expanding the neighbourhood mutual aid scope,extensive neighbourhood interactive practice,promote the professional social work in the neighbourhood mutual function,energetically spread and carry forward the excellent neighborhood culture and so on four aspects put forward the corresponding improvement Suggestions. |
