As our country is gradually moving towards the aging society, we need to establish a complete set of community security system meant for the old people.

The establishment and development of China’s socialist market economy also requires the reform and improvement in our social welfare and security system, which in turn places higher expectations on community services.

With the transformation of governmental functions, much of the work involving social services that was initially undertaken by the government will be gradually transferred to social groups and non-government organizations.

On the one hand, the government will shoulder greater responsibilities in its macro-management, and on the other hand, social groups and non-government organizations will need to involve themselves in more community services.
