Features: This book starts from the humanitarian and developmental aspects of the aging issue, proposes countermeasures for establishing a comprehensive elderly security system, and considers it the basic and most important strategy to address population aging. The elderly security system includes elderly social security, elderly family security, elderly self-security, and elderly community service security. These four aspects form a complete elderly security system. The book focuses on rural areas, but its theoretical framework has universal significance. The theory originates from practice, and the connection between theory and practice is a prominent feature of this book. From the practical section, one can glimpse the trajectory of the authors' more than two decades of empirical research, which serves as the foundation for the theoretical section.
