This year's National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, "silver economy" has become a hot word. The government work report proposes, "Actively respond to population aging, improve the policy mechanism for developing the elderly care industry and the elderly care industry, and vigorously develop the silver economy."
According to estimates, the current scale of my country's silver economy is about 7 trillion yuan, and it is expected to reach 30 trillion yuan in 2035. In the first "member channel", some CPPCC members called for "the silver economy is a future 'youth' cause, and it is inseparable from everyone's joint participation."
The silver hair economy has great potential. Nowadays, the demand for the elderly has shifted from survival to development, with both physical demands for food, clothing, housing, and transportation, as well as services for health and elderly care, as well as higher demands for "poetry and distant places" such as leisure and entertainment... It can be said that the demand is becoming increasingly diverse and contains a broad market.
Compared with this, young people are creative and are cultivating new trends in silver consumption. The college elderly care service major is constantly popular; in addition to health care, it has also continuously explored new tracks such as education, fitness, psychological counseling, and memoir writing, providing more emotional value for the silver hair group; it is brave to explore and innovate in the design of elderly-friendly products, the creation of new nursing homes, and the research and development of elderly-aided robots... Young people dare to think and do, and bravely enter the new blue ocean of the silver hair economy.
Many representatives and deputies are also optimistic about the silver economy and are cheering and giving advice to the "new wave". "Smart elderly care will become a new highlight of industrial development", "building a silver-family cultural and tourism industry chain", "accelerating digital aging-friendly transformation"... These good voices have stimulated the entrepreneurial enthusiasm of young people.
Change your ideas and the world will be wide. For many young people, investing in the silver economy is not only for their jobs, but also regarding it as a "sunrise industry" and "youth cause" to realize their value. By providing services and utilizing their abilities, they can also bring a full sense of gain and achievement and achieve a win-win situation.
Silver hair and black hair dance together. This two-way rushing out not only creates new hot spots in the current economy, but also explores and practices to meet the challenges of population aging and promote high-quality economic and social development.
