It is necessary to speed up the development of community pension services, encourage market-oriented operation through policy guidance, and attract more people to participate in pension services. The government has the responsibility to provide free assistance to the empty-nest elderly in rural areas, and can put some financial subsidies for poverty alleviation in medical institutions to cure the diseases of the elderly.
