积极老龄化背景下老年人再就业的可行性路径探究

Exploring the Feasibility Pathway of Re-Employment for the Elderly under the Background of Positive Aging

摘要: 近年来，人口老龄化成为一个世界性问题，为缓解人口老龄化带来的一系列问题，世界卫生组织在2002年提出“积极老龄化”的概念。“积极老龄化”是一种积极的应对人口老龄化的策略，以健康、参与和保障为三大支柱，旨在提高老年人的生活质量，鼓励老年人积极参与社会，在社会参与中实现自我价值以应对老龄化趋势。老年人再就业，属于“积极老龄化”的一种。我国人口老龄化问题也可以通过老年人再就业得到一定的缓解。我国健康事业的迅速发展，使得老年人口的健康状况有了很大的提升，这为老年群体退休后重新参与社会经济提供了充分的条件。老年人再就业能够为老年群体提供物质与精神的双重福利，同时能够促进社会经济的良性运行，一定程度上推动人口老龄化问题的解决。但是，老年人的健康状况、技能过时和社会歧视都对老年人再就业构成了不小的挑战。文章针对老年人在再就业过程中遇到的现实困境进行探究，提出老年人再就业的可行性路径。

Abstract: In recent years, population aging has become a global problem. To alleviate a series of problems caused by population aging, the World Health Organization proposed the concept of “positive aging” in 2002. “Positive aging” is a proactive strategy to address population aging, with health, participation, and security as the three pillars, aimed at improving the quality of life of the elderly, encouraging them to actively participate in society, and realizing their self-worth through social participation to cope with the trend of aging. The re-employment of elderly people belongs to a type of “positive aging”. The problem of the aging population in our country can also be alleviated to a certain extent through the re-employment of elderly people. The rapid development of China’s health industry has greatly improved the health status of the elderly population, providing sufficient conditions for the elderly to re-enter the social economy after retirement. The reemployment of the elderly can provide both material and spiritual benefits for the elderly population, while also promoting the healthy operation of the social economy and to some extent, promoting the solution of the problem of population aging. However, the health status, outdated skills, and social discrimination of the elderly pose significant challenges to their reemployment. This article explores the practical difficulties faced by elderly people in the process of re-employment and proposes feasible paths for their re-employment.
