Abstract

Rural elderly care is related to social stability and harmony and is a key link in rural revitalization. Properly addressing the issue of elderly care in rural areas not only ensures the basic livelihood of the elderly, but also promotes rural economic and social development, laying a solid foundation for building a harmonious society. With the rapid development of the economy, society, and urbanization, rural elderly care in China has become an important social issue that urgently needs to be solved by society and families. This study summarizes the current situation and existing problems of rural elderly care in China and conducts in-depth analysis of potential countermeasures for these problems, which has a certain reference value for the future development of rural elderly care. Through analysis, this study believes that there are four problems with rural nutrition in China, namely weak information literacy, incomplete elderly care facilities, insufficient financial security, and excessive family responsibility. Targeted recommendations are also proposed.
